Waste of Time

As you turn to walk away, 
I will not ask you to stay.

If that is what you expect me to do, 
then I have a surprise for you.

I am relieved to see you go, 
But, I don't want it to show.

I don't want you to see, 
any reaction at all from me.

It would be a waste of time, 
your time, the rest is all mine.

You wanted me to disappear from sight,
expecting me to give up without a fight.

I know who you are now, 
I was fooled, but not sure how.

You think that I'm not that strong. 
Think again, because you're wrong.

Did you think that I was through?
Think again, you don't have a clue.

All of the things you say and do, 
I think I may even feel sorry for you.

Go, walk away, for I am sure.
I will not settle again, I am worth more.

Thanks Andrea, It took awhile, I had doubted my self worth, it had gotten that bad. But, it is over and done. I know who I am, not who he tried to make me believe I was.
