I Would Not Have Walked Away Poem by Randy McClave

I wanted to let you know
That I thank you for letting me go,
Thank you for releasing me
And thank you for setting me free.
I truly had belonged to you
Whatever that you needed or wanted I did do,
But, now you and I are no more
As I head out the front door.
I still have all of our memories
To me they are part of my treasuries,
And they are still part of my mind
They are easy for me to recollect and find.
Sadly most of the memories are of pain
Still etched into my brain,
How I was used and lied to and mistreated
Daily was soul was slowly defeated.
I want to thank you once more again
For removing from my life that debt and sin,
I was prepared and happy to suffer and stay
Because, I would not have walked away.
