I won’t beg you to stay
I won’t forgive your indiscretions to keep you near.
Ignoring the pain from the invisible daggers
That penetrate my heart
Would be like driving full speed into a brick wall.
I won’t love you blindly
Nor lay stupidly beside you
As lies separate us.
Time will remove the daggers
Tears will dry
The wounds will close.
Those memories will fade
You’ll be a lesson learned.
