"This is not another fight"

 

The warrior in her knows how to choose her battles,
She has lost enough to know the focus is on the war, 
The war between choosing herself and choosing someone who eats away her joy and only knows how to conquer her heart with everything but, love.

This is not another fight, 
this her wiping the dust off her feet, 
letting everything burn into ashes instead of letting herself get burned trying to keep the fire alive.

This is not another fight, 
This is her lungs growing tired of the smoke. 
This is another fight for you, 
A fight you will not win with beautiful lies and a basket of promises. 
The roses, the chocolate, the gifts are no longer spells.

She is too far gone for you to think your tricks will become the treats that bring her back to your feet.

This is not another fight, 
it’s the overdue goodbye."

    Wonderful.

    An “overdue goodbye”. Sometimes we hold on for too long. Been there. This said it perfectly.
    When you want everyone’s advice, but you finally realize, it is up to YOU to decide when to leave.
