Just, Finally Able Poem by Kimberly Lindsey

You have hurt me, Lied to me, and cheated too.
You have mocked me, made me weak,
Made me sad and dejected, Yes you.

For six years, you abused me
Controlled and Manipulated me.

Now, when I have moved on,
Found someone else, you want me back.
NOW, you want to get married,
And expect me to dropp everything at the first
Tear you shed.

I am sorry, not this time.
There is someone who loves me,
Does not control me, just wants me to be happy.

I will not throw what I have with him away,
For all the lies that you tell.

The pretty words you say, but now you are only lying to yourself.
I know your patterns. I know your lies, like the back of my hand.

I want more out of life than pain, grief and distress.
There were so many good times, No, I will never forget.

I will cherish the good, and run from the bad… But I can never forget.
The emotional abuse has left its mark….. I can not see you, or talk to you.
You will get inside my head.

I can allow you to do that. Then I will be undone.
It took so long to get to this point, I can’t go back,
It will start all over again…. I asked you to prove me wrong.

But all that you did, is prove, that you are never going to change.
Did you think that I was too weak to leave?
Or did you think you had me controlled that well?

Perhaps you thought I was just stupid…. Thought I could not tell?
Whatever the case, it is over. It has been for so very long.
I just “finally, ” am able to say it. I have courage and strength in my heart.

This is good-bye and I mean it. I can not go back to the way it was.
I have moved on, and am becoming stable. I like me again, and that is final.
