You didn’t love me
You used me

You let me believe we were something real
While you kept one eye on what you couldn’t reveal
You spoke like we stood on the same ground
But you were just filling the gaps he left behind
You said we were together, just quiet for now

But quiet was just code for “don’t ask how”
I trusted the words you repeated with care
While you were borrowing pieces you couldn’t get there

I wasn’t confused   I was misled
You fed me hope while you guarded your bed

You didn’t want me, you wanted relief
Someone to give what he couldn’t give
You didn’t want truth
You wanted cover
You didn’t want love
You wanted another

You made me feel foolish for trusting your tone
Like I was crazy for reading what you showed
You lied with comfort, not panic or fear
That’s how I know you were practiced right here

You said I mattered, said I was different
But different just meant “safe to be distant”
You took my presence, my patience, my sleep
Then called it friendship when it got too deep

You didn’t protect me
You protected your image
Let me carry the weight
While you stayed invisible

You weren’t trapped
You were choosing control
You weren’t confused
You were guarding your role

You used me
To feel alive again
I filled the cracks
You wouldn’t fix with him
You used me
While calling it fate
But fate doesn’t lie
And love doesn’t bait

You let me believe
I was more than a phase
But I was just silence
Between your real days

I wasn’t the problem
I was the substitute

You didn’t want to leave
You wanted to cope

And I paid for that
With pieces of myself

You used me
And thought I was blind
Thought I’d stay grateful
For borrowed time

You used me
But here’s the truth
I was real with you
You just couldn’t afford to be

I’m not angry
I’m just tired

You looked me in the face
And said, “You’re safe with me”
But safety don’t feel like this
Lately I barely sleep

You said we were something
Then smiled when I believed
I was giving you truth
You were giving me relief

I replay every moment
Try to see what I missed
Was I just a pause button
In a life you already picked

You held my hands when I fell
Said, “I’m here, I won’t disappear”
But now you say we’re just close
Like closeness don’t cut deep in here

I didn’t ask you to choose me
I just asked you not to lie
There’s a difference between confusion
And watching someone slowly die inside

You knew what this was
And you let me stay anyway
You let me feel seen
Then took the ground away

I’m smaller than I was
I don’t recognize my days
You call it friendship now
But that’s not how you made me stay

You talk like nothing changed
Like I should be okay
But you don’t hear the silence
That’s been living in my chest every day

I was there when you needed calm
When your world felt tight
I stayed up holding pieces
You dropped every night

Now you tell me it was light
Something easy, something safe
But I’m carrying weight
And you walk away clean

I don’t hate you
I just hate what this did to me
I was growing into someone
Now I feel like less than I used to be

You protected your life
By rewriting mine
And I’m left holding feelings
You already put behind

I’m smaller than I was
I question every word I say
You say I should understand
But you never had to pay

I don’t need you to leave your life
I needed you to respect mine
If you were afraid of the truth
You should’ve let me go in time

I’m not asking for regret
I’m asking you to see
That love without honesty
Still costs someone deeply

You knew what this was
And you watched me fall in
You held the door half open
Never let me fully in

I’m trying to stand again
But it hurts more than you know
I didn’t lose you
I lost myself in what you wouldn’t own
Santi Flores

I hope you find peace
I really do
I just wish you hadn’t found it
By lying to me
