Shadows of Valerie

Whispers like shadows, lurking in the dark,

A love that was sweet, now leaves a bitter mark.

Twelve months of laughter turned into a fight,

Lost in the echoes of a love turned night.

Met you on Tinder, in the glow of the fall,

Valerie, our chemistry, felt like a freefall.

Raised a pit bull, felt like a family,

But you played your games, was it all just a fantasy?

You pointed the finger, made me the blame,

Every little argument, became a twisted game.

Always calling me a cheat, while you danced in the lies,

Too blind to see the truth, hidden in your disguise.

Valerie, you played me like a puppet on a string,

With your words like daggers, oh, they cut so deep.

While you wore the crown, pretending to be queen,

I was drowning in the chaos of your bitter dreams.

Joined the military, thought we’d build a better life,

But you took that choice, and turned it into strife.

Promises we made turned to ashes in the wind,

I was fighting for us, but you were just a sin.

Every time I lifted up, you pulled me to the ground,

With every little secret, you’d wrap me all around.

The problem shifted, always came back to me,

In the waves of your storm, I lost my sanity.

Valerie, you played me like a puppet on a string,

With your words like daggers, oh, they cut so deep.

While you wore the crown, pretending to be queen,

I was drowning in the chaos of your bitter dreams.

Now I’m rising from the ashes, shedding your embrace,

No more shadows, I’m reclaiming my space.

Your chains don’t bind me, I’m breaking free at last,

Learning from the wounds and leaving you in the past.

So Valerie, remember, don’t play with the fire,

You taught me the lesson, I’ll never conspire.

I’ll heal from the scars, find a love that’s true,

And bury the memories of the pain that was you.
