Leave, Leave, Leave

Leave, Leave, Leave,

Were the words she heard.

Her spirit wanted to do so,

Alive it felt at the thought.

Her hands fumbled the doorknob,

In hopes of a new beginning,

But she dared no go.

To leave meant safety,

To leave meant new beginnings.

Beginnings without hurt,

Beginnings without lies,

Beginnings without the torture to her soul.

Leave, leave, leave,

Were the words she heard,

But she dared not go.
