Walk Away

Closed my eyes
Walked a step
And I leaped  across a streamlet

The beginning of my vagabond chapter
I brought my bag
And honestly, I didn't look back
Not even once

"Don't look back, don't look back"
Since you pushed me away
I had to drag myself out of your sight
Persuaded my ego to leave your wretched soul

While I delved into the new world
You pulled me back 
Your jealousy showed me the worst of you
But I guess I have become immune with your pretentious sweet words

Prosaic and stern 
Your words were obsolete
You've become a stranger each time I see you
Perhaps, leaving you is beneficial after all
