CLARITY

The pieces fall into place
A true picture painted now
Seeing all I didn't before
Knowing the truth not a lie

All that you pretended to be
Today I see with unyielding clarity
It makes it so much easier to let go
Because I know now just what was

The woman I knew so long ago
No longer exists in this dimension
An illusion painted for a purpose
Gaining what you wanted from me

Your transformation now complete
From who you once were within my arms
Now you run with those so untrue
Your mirror must reflect nothing back
For all you knew to do with me is attack

Sadness in seeing what you have become
Yet relief that I can let you go so complete
For who you have become is no one I wish to know
From what we once shared you now no longer glow

My life stretches before me with new horizons free
I am yet to discover all of my own depth and beauty
An ending with you brought about a new beginning
Sharing myself now with only those who are truly worthy
