Ode to ex villain

Whispers in the dark, where shadows play,

You’re miles away, but your voice still stays.

As I lay snuggling our little ones near,

You speak your lies, but I choose not to fear.

The truth sits heavy like the weight of the night,

A venomous snake, but I won’t lose this fight.

I rise from the ashes, a phoenix in flight,

Your venomous words, they won't dim my light.

See through your facade, it’s starting to break,

In a mirror of memories, you’re just a fake.

So just be happy with what you possess,

Let go the past, stop this game of distress.

You can’t hurt me now, your control's out the door,

I hope that you find peace, but I won’t be your war.

We had good times, oh, I’ll carry those dreams,

But they fall to the ground, not as bright as they seem.

You play the victim while you draw up your plans,

But everyone else sees, you’re stuck in quicksand.

I rise from the ashes, I claim this new day,

No more shadows lurking, I’m paving the way.

Your blame's unraveling, the truth will ignite,

The battle within you can’t hide from the light.

So just be happy with what you possess,

Let go the past, stop this game of distress.

You can’t hurt me now, your control's out the door,

I hope that you find peace, but I won’t be your war.

I wish you well, but I’m ready to part,

I’ll cherish the laughter, but not the dark heart.

Hell fires around you, will teach you to see,

The chains that you forged can’t hold onto me.

So as I snuggle our babies tight,

I rise from the ashes, embracing the light.
