"Okay"
Is what you said
When I told you I was
Outta here
Thank god, or heaven, or whoever you please
It was really that easy
Relief washes over me
That pit in my stomach-
Gone
That nervous fidgeting-
Gone
That baited breath-
Gone
Never once in all these years
Did I expect such calm demeanour from
You
This is so different from all the times before
No resistance
Arguing, oppression, superiority
Rather DEFEAT in your
Eyes
And barely a pause or
Trembor
As you speak
You did NOTHING
You had no FIGHT
You simply wished me all the best
Ready to part ways
Don't I mean more to you than this?
As you got up and left,
Walked AWAY
I sit here smiling at the promise of a better
Life
But crying; you don't FEEL anything for me
Not one bit
Your own daughter
Wishing she wasn't near you
RUNNING to escape your firm hold
And finally, finally.... tonight you let me GO
Without a hint of resistance
You used to care
At least a little bit
........
"Okay"
Is all you said
When I told you I was outta here
