Red face, puffy cheeks, dull eyes,

a scream held back, twisting inside.

Harsh words whispered in lies,

slowly but surely, the two of us divide.

Sleepless nights spent in a cold bed alone,

thoughts spinning, revolving around you.

You were no longer mine to own;

knowing this to be harsh but true.

Silence... talking no more,

couldn't even stand to touch me;

as if a ghost entered our home.

There was no place for us to be free.

A small paper - a note you left behind,

nothing else except this silent goodbye.

This helped my life to be more refined,

though it took quite a while not to cry.

Shed my tears at your leave,

I grieved the corrupted history.

From the start, you didn't believe

and now it's my love I need to bury.

Perhaps about you I was always wrong,

maybe for you, this didn't mean a thing;

but for our small one I need to be strong,

so I no longer wear the restrictive golden ring.

No, to you I'm no longer bound,

I can take care of this small family;

I am truly my own person now.

My child and I live together happily.

To me, they are the most important,

no one can compete with that.

They're here for me every second;

nothing can make me more glad.
