A New Chapter

I remember when you said I’d be yours forever

Suddenly the forever turned out to be never

You shot me so far down and I initially struggled to reach the top

I gained knowledge after the relationship

Knowledge of how I was under somebody’s whip

I honestly felt like I was losing my breath from asphyxiation

From that moment, I knew I had to try my hardest to stop myself from future manipulation

After a year and a half of heartbreak and hopelessness

I eventually ended up in truly loving arms

I’m no longer a piece on a board of chess

No more false alarms

For now, my relationship is as gleaming as an elegant sparkling red dress
