She Turned Away

 

She turned away.

He had promised all of his love,

All that he could give,

And she knew that was a lot.

 

She turned away.

That he would always love her

And give all she needed,

There was no doubt.

 

She turned away.

He said they were soul mates.

It confused her,

But she believed him.

 

She turned away.

The pain ripped through his soul,

Causing him to fight

For his soul, his very sanity.

 

She turned away.

Realizing what she had done,

Knew she needed him

In her own life.

 

She turned around.

Reaching out with both arms

To the only true love she'd known.

He was gone.
