Breakaway

Packed a bag one silent night,

Heart so heavy, clenched up tight.

Air was thick like shattered glass,

Love once warm now burned to ash.

Shadows danced beneath moon’s glow,

In the taxi, time moved slow.

Tears ran down in quiet streams,

Strength was born from broken dreams.

Beneath the pain, a light would grow,

This chapter ends with truth to show.

Freedom whispered in the ear,

Heartache sang what none could hear.

Learned the worth that’s long been earned,

Left behind what never turned.

In the rearview, sorrow clings,

But down the road, a new song rings.

Streetlights blurred on window glass,

Miles behind a shattered past.

In the night, a soul found way,

Heart reborn at break of day.

Beneath the pain, a light would grow,

This chapter ends with truth to show.

Freedom whispered in the ear,

Heartache sang what none could hear.
