One last step

 Cheers

To memories I do not wish to recall

To a time I was lost and had no vision

To a dark age of lust and docility

To a tale of manipulation and unmutual love

To holes that needed filling and holes forever empty

To a narcissistic psychopath's thrall 

To resentment nursed for half a decade

To tough choices put off and decisions unmade

To living a lie and showing the truth

To the close of a tragic chapter 

And a wasted lifetime irredeemable.

To the death of an invisible lunatic maiden

Only one apology owed, to have lied of love.

Cheers

To mental straightjackets and emotional bulletproof vests

Cheers to breathing again
