The lady awaited my visit down by the shore
She was weak and hurt as the ocean blue tears did pour
And while she was another part attached to my core
The life of her maintenance became much of a chore

"Goodbye to you" I begin, "just for a few days"
"For I am not hurt by you and the things you say"
"You cannot stay in control, there are other ways"
"But for now, it's me, so wont you please stay at bay"

The lady was stricken with anger and hate
Vowing to lead me to a horrendous fate
She snuck into the kitchen finding my plate
And placed poison on top of the food I ate

Usually it brought hurt, today not so
The pain I usually felt did not show
The lady was one of lifes biggest foes
Yet she did not so much as make me low

My friends made the lady hide away
Darkness gone from the golden sun rays
Flowers grew in a gorgeous display
Happiness I felt was here to stay
