Insistent.

She was so good with herself

Until he came along — 

Perhaps it became better.

She forgot her rules 

And learnt to live. 

She broke bad habits

And learnt to breathe. 

She outdid herself 

And learn to knit. 

She thought, 

Maybe it wasn’t so bad after all.

She welcomed him into her life,

And as and when he came by. 

Never turning back before he’s gone,

Each time leaving her scarred and torn. 

Soon after she wondered,

If it’s worth it at the end of it all.

We all know what she’s after, 

It’s for her to make the call.
