Cutting the ties that bind

Cutting the ties that bind

Youโ€™ve been stringing me along
all this time.
Today I cut the ties.

Cutting the ties that bind

Itโ€™s said that weโ€™re bound to people
with invisible threads,
the threads that bind,
sometimes stunt the growth,
take the bold step of cutting the off,
your peace of mind is above all,
in releasing them,
you release yourself too.

Cutting the ties that bind

Cutting off the lifeline,
Or so was thought,
The line that connects
to the bond that seemed to count.
Good or bad,
Who is to say?
The eventual impact,
Depends on what life
has got to say.

Cutting the ties that bind

If it hurts; cut it off;
Getting over momentary
Pains is the gateway to
To a world of great gains.
The enormity of your power
Is realised when you let go
Your own unfounded fears.
The cut, you bet!

Cutting the ties that bind

I wanted to remember our plans
and promises that we made
that you would never leave,
the reason why I stayed.
It never occurred to me,
that it was all a dream,
how silly could I be,
when things arenโ€™t
what they seem?

Cutting the ties that bind

Cut the string
ginger hair flowing freely
no blood this time
beyond these pale sheets
crisp like almost new
just fresh and warm
the perfect metaphor
no longer a marionette
what now?

Cutting the ties that bind

You are finally dead in my head
I cannot see the red thread
and yet I hold on to the
last piece of you still attached to me.
Another reminder of your toxicity.
Lest I forget.

Cutting the ties that bind

You are stronger than you think,
Life changes in a blink.
If the cord didnโ€™t connect hearts
Snip it off! Donโ€™t live your life in parts!

Cutting the ties that bind

You handed me the scissors,
And I cut you off.
Just like that.

Cutting the ties that bind

Breaking the last tie of love,
He was my life-line,
For freedom!

Cutting the ties that bind

I release myself
from remembering you.

Cutting the ties that bind

Cut the cord,
baby donโ€™t fear,
the toxicity needs to go,
the demons shouldnโ€™t be near.

Cutting the ties that bind

As I cut the strings so strong
I was free from all the bonds

Marriage of Convenience or True Love? 8 Signs Youโ€™re Just Settling

Marriage of Convenience or True Love? Signs Youโ€™re Settling

If you think you are in a marriage of convenience, you will know that it doesn’t feel like a fairy tale, rather it’s about maintaining the status quo. Maybe you are staying in this marriage because everything is “okay” and “stable”.

All the bills are getting paid on time, the house is comfortable, and the kids are happy to have both their parents under the same roof. Moreover, you don’t want to deal with the hassle that comes with filing for a divorce, so you just…stay.

Does this sound familiar? The unfortunate truth is that many married couples stay in a loveless marriage because dealing with the alternate option is scary. Theyโ€™re together, but theyโ€™re not really together. They function more like roommates, business partners, or co-parents rather than lovers.

So, if you have ever thought, “A
