She walked away.
She was feeling worn out to endure.
Her heart was no longer at peace.
Happiness was far from her.
She was bored of being a caged wife.
Walking away was her last choice.
After having so many wounds all over her body.
After being treated like a slave for years.
She needed to let go and refocus on her life.
Cutting him off was her best remedy.
Silence became her panacea.
She found that meeting new people was helpful for her.
What a courageous woman.

FPS: The Last Flame Challenge Winners
Welcome to our first Winners Announcement of the year and to the final challenge in the Fall Poetry Series. The Last Flame invited writers to sit with endings, using fire as a central image to consider what remains when something burns out: ash, warmth, memory, silence, or the faint promise of what comes next. The strongest pieces treated endings as gradual rather than sudden, allowing them to flicker, dim, and linger.
