undefeated
so she finally gave up
on the man he said he'd be
and decided that she'd be content
with just the memory
all the things he'd promised
dried like raisins in the sun
and the love that he had sworn was hers
had never really begun
he treated all her feelings
with such casual disdain
and rather than a heart of joy
he gave her days of pain
the accusations and distrust
he dealt her every day
left holes in her tender heart
that she was sure would stay ...
until the day she finally woke -
with open eyes she saw
that he was just a mortal man
she looked hard at all his flaws
the steady and abiding faith
she'd placed in his hands
turned to dust and died that day
though he didn't understand
reclaiming what was left
of what once had been her life
she stood up tall and wiped her tears
and walked into the light ~
undefeated.
