Walk Away Without a Backward Glance
Just walk away, that’s what I’m told
It sounds so easy to do
But how do you turn away
From the one that found your heart?
Granted, it was only a small part
But you were the first to really reach it
So was I a fool to believe you?
Believe you when you say you care,
That you think about me, that you miss me?
You’d think that I’d have learned my lesson
I’ve been fed those lines time and time again
Well, I guess the time has come
For me to walk away
Just one foot in front of the other
Without a backward glance. . .

Nicely penned Shannon and so true, at some point we have to admit we’ve been used and the truth was not what we wished. For ourselves, for our esteem and sanity, we must learn to walk away. Well done.
I wonder, though, how many people actually set out to intentionally use someone else.
