As I Walk
As I walk through the darkness
I am not afraid
It is they that have been wrong
Their mistakes will be repaid.

Not by me
But they themselves
They lie deep in their own betrayal
Never wanting to face it,
They always want to flee.

Full of regret
Losing all bets
They think they're having fun
But their true happiness is done

I continue to walk
They try to talk

Too many chances given
They have yet to experience the pain they've made me live in.

Still,
I walk on.

Better than them
Wiser than them
More deserving than them

Because I give it my all
Even if I win, lose, or draw

The losses will soon disappear
And I will come to true realization that they weren't worth my valued tear.

Let them live in fear
That they will never come close to the happiness they had when I was near.

I see their wondering eyes when I walk by them without a smile
They know they gave up a good thing
And can't say it because they have too much pride and are strictly juvenile.

I'm above it all
And have finally recognized that
All those chances I gave them
They tried to make me fall
But even at 5'9 I'm still standing tall

The best treatment they'll ever have
Thrown away with little thought
And years to come they'll realize I was the true love they always sought.

And so I walk

I fought tooth and nail for their love
And all I got was heavy push and shove

Out the door
Like so many times before

It's only now that I won't look back
It's time to make them feel what they truly lack.

My walk will end one day
They'll miss me
I'll be happy with somebody else
And all will be right as I will finally be happy and because I know I've said all I've needed to say...

And I won't look back like they will, and regret a single day.
