Standing on the waters edge, thoughts jumbled mind
Seek answers to questions, in the jumble try to find
Do you need too, or is the reason so obviously clear
Maybe you can't accept, from those you hold dear

Red flags, we all sense them but try to ignore
Until the dawning moment, we can do no more
To bury and consider, a reason that is safe
Instead of acting quickly, close an open gate

Did you wait for peace of mind, to overcome
When a relationship is toxic, commonsense wrong
Still hope burns strong, yet doubts take control
Time to accept, bring peace to your inner soul
