I have often thought of the pain you caused

And how to wreak revenge,

But the pain inflicted upon my soul

 Matters little in the end.

For happiness is mine at last

 After all those hurtful years

And there is no more pain or suffering,

 Or broken-hearted tears.

The pain you caused has long since healed

 And revenge is no longer sought,

And the happiness I have within

 Can’t be borrowed, lent or bought.

I have seen you lately from afar,

 Oh how old and drawn, you see

Your evil deeds have taken their toll

 On your face once so serene.

Your own unhappiness you have caused

By treating me so ill,

And forcing me to leave you there

 And swallow that bitter pill

Of knowing that had you been true,

Together we would still be,

A happy family as we were back then,

 Not living in misery.

I pity you now the hatred has gone,

 That you are the way you are,

You’ll never find joy in the wiles you employ

 But only emotional scars.

I leave you now for my happiness,

As if it were a place,

Never again to think of you

Or look upon your face.

I wish you happiness my love,

 And I promise no regrets,

But most of all I truly wish

That we had never met.
