Limbo No More

Your betrayal didn’t slay me
It delivered me instead
The stab to my heart cut the cord I couldn’t
It bled, but I’m not dead

A deviation from my integrity
Opened my eyes to things unsaid
What I thought was clear
Clearly wasn’t --
Unseen collision showed me the way

I walked into that glass wall
It knocked some sense into my head
All’s not lost, it’s merely changed
I’ve been sprung from this empathic trap

For three weeks, perfidy had silenced me
My muse was all but gagged
The blow brought back my senses
And sensibility
The pain in my head
Brought back feeling
Unmasked the parasite
You were to me
Avoidant connection
That had to go

Your cord was like a siphon
You drained the bucket of my sympathies 
Me? I was drinking from the well of your toxicity
But the poison is gone, my wound will heal
My empathy is for me

After three weeks and I’m finally crying
But hell no, it’s not for you
It’s not even for the time I’ve wasted, no
I’ve broken free from a tomb
Tears of sweet release
I’m free now from potential
From all your baggage, and all your fears
I’m not your lifeboat, not your escape route
I’m not in your limbo anymore

(A work in progress, but it feels good to have big magic in the air)
