Get Out

once
out, we don't go back.
when someone
abuses you,
whether physically
or emotionally,
or lies to you
again and again.
it's over.
no more chances.
strange how time and distance
gives
clarity.
the water clears
and stills.
we see the past for what
it really was,
people for who
they really are.
there is no doubt after
a while
about what went down.
we know without
out a doubt
what was lost, what
was found. we don't go
back. we move on.
some people never change.
we need to realize that.
