I loved you for loving me,
I loved you for protecting me,
I loved you for your trust,
But that trust fades for you and me.
I gave you my love and life,
But you put that to someone else,
Bud left me in the darkness to question myself.
Now in that darkness I roam,
Leaving you like an abandoned home.
That silence wrapped me like a mould,
As I gather pieces of love turning cold.
In those pieces I finally saw,
The strength I forgot I had.
I raise my voice bold and raw,
And claim the strength I always had.
Let those pieces go cold,
Because, now I don’t do what I am told.
I am a savage woman,
I dance with the flames of fire,
I rise from the ashes.
No chain can hold me,
I walk out with no crack.
You cannot break me.
You cannot define me.
You cannot tame me.
I am a savage woman,
I march with pride,
And I won’t shame to leave you behind.
I roam in the dark,
Carving paths in my own light.
My shadow marches beside me,
And I don’t show fright.
I am reading a book,
You, a chapter I once took.
I bring a lighter, with a small grin,
Where you stop, I begin.
