The Best Karma

Mm…

Funny how life works…

You spend so much time loving somebody,

Only to realize you were loving who they pretended to be.

Funny how I thought you were different,

Thought your love was heaven-sent.

Every promise sounded so convincing,

But now I see it was all pretend.

Crazy how sometimes I reach for my phone,

Wonder if you’re doing okay.

Then I remember all the lonely nights,

When you chose to walk away.

I carried us on tired shoulders,

While you watched me break apart.

I was fighting battles in the dark,

And you were nowhere in my heart’s war.

If I’m being honest,

There’s a piece of me that wonders,

Could we have made it through?

But every time I think about returning,

I remember all the pain you put me through.

The best karma was letting you go,

Choosing myself when I needed it most.

Walking away with tears in my eyes,

Knowing someday I’d heal and survive.

You weren’t there when I needed your love,

Only showed up when it benefited you.

Now the best revenge ain’t hating you,

It’s finding peace and finally breaking through.

The best karma…

Was letting go of you.

You pretended to be an angel,

But your wings were made of lies.

Had me believing in forever,

While you hid the devil in disguise.

You said all the right things,

Knew exactly what I’d need to hear.

But actions always tell the truth,

And yours disappeared year after year.

I lost myself trying to save us,

While you gave me less than bare minimum.

Now I see your love for what it was,

A lesson dressed up as a kingdom.

And sometimes I still get angry,

Thinking of all the time I gave.

But healing taught me something beautiful,

Not everybody deserves to be saved.

The best karma was letting you go,

Choosing myself when I needed it most.

Walking away with tears in my eyes,

Knowing someday I’d heal and survive.

You weren’t there when I needed your love,

Only showed up when it benefited you.

Now the best revenge ain’t hating you,

It’s finding peace and finally breaking through.

The best karma…

Was letting go of you.

One day you’ll look back and realize,

What you threw away.

You’ll see me smiling beside a love,

That actually knows how to stay.

He’s gonna give me what you couldn’t,

Consistency, honesty, trust.

And while you’re wondering what happened,

I’ll be thanking God for us ending when we did.

‘Cause losing you wasn’t my punishment,

It was my freedom.

It was my blessing.

It was my breakthrough.

The best karma was letting you go,

Finally putting my heart back home.

I stopped begging for what I deserved,

And found my worth all on my own.

You can keep your apologies,

I don’t need them to move on.

The chapter closed the day I realized,

I was stronger alone.

The best karma…

Was letting you go.

Let you go…

Let you go…

Mmm…

The next woman can have the version of you

I spent years trying to fix…

And me?

I’m finally free.
