One of my Worst Decisions

You came into my life, and
Ordered me to do things
I would never do at that time.

You kept telling me
That you meant no harm
And that trusting you would never be a mistake.

But, I could never stop the voices,
That kept telling me otherwise.

Regardless,
I followed your instructions,
Walking the path you lead.

After spending so much of my time with you,
The day came.
It was time for you to go.

I would be lying if I said
I didn’t miss you when you left.
Sure, I was sad.

But now, few years after your departure,
That I’m probably more sensible than I was,
I realised how wrong you were,
How trusting you was a mistake,
How the voices that spoke to me then were right.

Most importantly,
I realised how walking the path you lead was one of the worst decisions of my life.
