7 Years
For seven long years, you haunted my days, a shadow like the black plague, a relentless replay. A constant gnawing, a lingering in my mind's sway.
Seven years it took to grasp my emotions' reel, lost in my own skin, a stranger's zeal.
In seven years' span, the truth came to light, realization dawned, you were the one in the night. Deceived, I bore the blame, a shield, a plight.
Seven years of burden, an Atlas-like load, the weight on my shoulders, a crushing episode.
After seven years, the release has begun, may you dwell in torment, under the sun. Yearning to be free, as I have won.
Seven years of healing, a future so bright, goals within reach, leaving you out of sight.
At last, seven years, finding my core, sure and unbound, stepping forward, no more.
