Renouncement Day

When you broke my heart
I built a wall
To ensure that part
Would never again fall

Prey again to such as you
A fool to love, I died of shame
And heartbreak you knew
Would cause such pain

The devastation lasted many years
The pain inside pierced my heart
And I have shed a million tears
My soul savagely ripped apart

Now I stand with head held high
In search of love I might never find
All the days and nights I cried
All the demons in my mind

I rebuke and renounce today
I will forgive you and forget
And as your memory fades away
I will live without regret

God please send me a true love
A man that will be good to me
One who looks to God above
And who sees all that I can be

I now value kindness over pain
A handsome face will not turn my head
Pretty words are met with disdain
I wait for the man who will instead

Honor the goddess inside of me
Hold me close and never let go
Believe in me and set me free
My devotion he will surely know

Is true, pure and real
I am a woman who is now whole
I will never again allow an impostor to steal
The essence of my soul
