Walking Away

He tells me I can't make
That I won't survive without his love
He sneers at me with contempt
And laughs each time I stumble

The weight bears down upon me
Threatening to crush my spirit
But each day the load gets lighter
With every step I take from him

His taunting fades behind me
As I step blindly into the light
He cries out for me to turn around
And go back into his darkness

My heart no longer hears him
My laughter washed out his cries
Dreams once again take wing
Without him I am me
