Baby steps, that was how it began
Baby steps towards my pink mini van
As I walked away from the illusions
That I'd called love, all merely delusions
✁✁✁
I chose to walk away from the pain
Leaving behind a beautiful bane
Memories of our past love did sting
Couldn't believe I once called you king
✁✁✁
You took advantage of all of my being
Of the lack of self worth that lay within
You made me feel like I wasn't enough
I'd stayed, trying to prove to you my stuff
✁✁✁
I slowly unloved you through baby steps
Loving you at all was my one misstep
I should never have to feel like trash
So our love story, I'm burning to ash
✁✁✁
I've learned to love myself today
This woman will never be led astray
And the perfect reminder any other day
Is the smell of our love's beautiful decay
✁✁✁

A little reminder that you should never feel bad about walking away from unhealthy relationships. You deserve the best.😙
