Sarah LouiseThank you for walking away
The marriage was dead
Just four years wed, so
Thank you for walking awayThe heartache immense
The vows a pretense, so
Thank you for walking awayJust one year in
He chose to betray, so
Thank you for walking awaySomething just wasn’t right
I felt foul play, so
Thank you for walking awayConfrontation conversation
The word of the day was downplay, so
Thank you for walking awayThe dream awoke
the truth bespoke, so
Thank you for walking awayHe disagreed, I tried to plead
trying to leave he blocked the doorway, so
Thank you for walking awaySurprise overtook, when leaving forsook
Thursday my last day, so
thank you for walking awayVoting is closed
Sarah, though I have no experience with it, I am sure that walking away from a marriage is a terribly hard step to take. Even when you know it isn’t right, it must be heartwrenching to leave when you thought you’d stay forever. I am glad that you had the strength to walk away. Thank you for sharing your story!
