The Past Lair

In each whispered verse, he persists.

His words of love, a persistent twist 

But deep within her being, she feels.

His attachment to another, the truth reveals.

 

Does your heart belong to another\'s claim?

You vehemently deny, but it\'s not the same.

And does your spirit, essence remain tied?

Again, you deny, truth pushed aside.

 

In the depth of your being, you\'re aware,

 That your happiness lies in the past\'s lair.

Yet, you resist admitting this truth,

Rejecting the love that stills hold its youth.

 

But she, a warrior, ready to face.

The battles that come, with love\'s embrace 

Though she loves you, she understands, 

that your heart, soul, and spirit are in different hands. 

 

She waits for a carnal betrayal, it\'s true, 

While emotional betrayal consumes her through.

In her sorrow, she decides to release.

You from her grasp, seeking a love that brings peace. 

 

She recognizes her worth, deserving more, 

Then an empty promise, a love to adore.

So, she lets you go, setting herself free,

knowing that her heart deserves to be happy.
