You had me believe.
Dependent solely on you.
Groomed to suite your needs.
Needing to be needed,
I clung to your intermitted praise.
Afraid of life without you.
A love unconditional,
Until it was.
Growing and maturing.
Voice growing steadier,
The conflicts began.
The balance of power,
No longer always yours.
Hot and cold, to keep me guessing.
Eggshells I no longer cared to walk on,
Were cracking beneath my feet.
The foundation was crumbling,
and the end drawing near.
There were conditions.
I knew.
I jumped.
In the darkness, a glimmer.
I turn to face the day.
That shame I carried, was not mine.
Those chains no longer bind me.
New life, I am finding alone.
