Broken
A long marriage, once filled with love and laughter,
Now brings the me nothing but pain thereafter.
Years of devotion and commitment I gave,
But my heart and soul now long to be brave.
My husband I married so long ago,
A shell of the man that I once used to know.
The love that once burned bright and strong,
Now extinguished, leaving me feeling wronged.
My spirit yearns to soar and be free,
To break away from what I no longer wants to be.
My dreams of a life filled with passion and joy,
A life where I can be my true self, no longer a toy.
The chains of tradition that bind me so tight,
Are now nothing but a burden, a constant fight.
I long to break free and spread my wings,
To dance in the sunshine, and feel the wind sing.
I want freedom, a chance to start anew,
To rediscover myself, and find what's true.
It's not easy to walk away from what ive known,
But my heart tells me it's time to leave, and i must go.
A long marriage that once was strong,
Now has come to an end, and I must move along.
I will take my memories of love and laughter,
But now it's time for a new chapter.
