[ Replenished ]

You probably wanted me

To crumble into dust

Had a notion of belief

Completely out of touch

Yeah, you thought I would be broken

Walking with a crutch

But when you chose to step away

I was finally free to love

Released me from the tangles

Of the poison in the mind

I have grown from the struggle

And, you see, I’m doing fine

I can weather any storm

To which your actions feel inclined

And no matter what you do

Just know that I’ll always survive

Rising to the challenge

Stirred from your disgrace

Just a victim of self-loathing

Which you cannot replace

Try to shift your focus

Yet I cannot be blamed

Stuck living with yourself

While I am oh so ar away

Along with my attention

Left all our memories

Erasing your existence

And all of the unpleasantries

Finally having peace

Held in wonder of my reveries

A world that I create

Where love finds not an enemy

How drastic is the contrast

Of your world versus reality

How twisted your perceptions

Swayed by every triviality

Bipolar in its nature

Disfigured in morality

I scarcely care to know you

‘Cept by the holds of my frugality

Like a work of fiction

All those years they seem unreal

The abuse and pain and anguish

Seem to fade to no ordeal

An account of my true innocence

Against that which you concealed

Yet time has come to introduce

A means for me to heal

Healed, that’s what I am

Not a scar, not a blemish

Not a crack within my soul

I am whole, not a remnant

Where I once longed for love

Feeling void, an empty crevice

My life has been reclaimed

And complete in its replenish

And I have not a sentence

Over my life writ in despair

There will never be a day

That I will live again, impaired

Standing on my feet again

And you can see it clear

I will never be the him again

That you once domineered
