Brave

As she walked across the bridge that day, I watched her light that match. She stood and watched as it burned so she knew he can't come back. She was over hearing his excuses. She knew it was time to let it go. Why would she waste her time explaining her worth to someone who didnt deserve to know.? She had drawn a line that day and she knew that she had changed. She felt the weight lift off her shoulder's as she got her peace back in exchange. She was damaged, yet never afraid. She chose to see the good in people so this was the price she's paid. That heart of Gold she wore so proud laid under heavy lock and key. She was tired of empty promises, so this was how it had to be. She went to turn around to go, looked like she had come to terms . I think that's why she stood there so long watching silently as it burned. As I watched her walk away that day I swear I saw her smile. That had to mean she learned a lesson that made this worth her while.
