I’m Still Not Done Yet

I see the light, it was disguised

I missed it right before my eyes

Some years ago, I was so low

Taken by the undertow

There is still a lot that I could say

My intuition led astray

I made my heart a shorter leash

And tricked my mind to think I’ll cease

I fight to chew on every word

And let our memories all burn

It’s time for me to break away

Before my empathy’s betrayed

Our favorite song is on repeat

Drowning out all of my screams

You’re just manure for his seed

He’s not really what you need

I gave our time another look

Discovered how you bait your hook

And now I’m better on my own

Shattered glass & bitter stone

I see the light it was disguised

I’m better now to my surprise

Years ago, I was so low

Recovery meant let you go
