My past relationship, a draining tide,  
extirpating joy, nothing inside.

Love thinned, sharper than a knife,  
confidence waned, revealing our life.

Self-doubt and loss, a constant refrain,  
revealing darkness, dulling my flame.

Then came our son, a ray in the storm,  
a shared focus, keeping us warm.

Years flew by, a whirlwind of days,  
our nest grew quiet, an emotional phase.

Distance crept in, a silent divide,  
a spark once shared, grief open wide.

Pain settled deep, a coldness that froze,  
until finally, buried treasure arose.

The story built, my narrative of despair,  
it didn't define me, my spirit was there.

Breaking free from negativity's hold,  
I embraced the light, stories to unfold.

This inward journey, a chance to rebuild,  
to mend the fractures, a path to be filled.

With self-love, acceptance, power and might,  
I left the darkness, to live in the light.
