We built a life from thrift-store furniture Cheap candles and exhausted dreams Your name stitched into every habit Like breathing became automatic I knew the shape of all your silences The way your eyes drifted when you lied But love turns warning signs to background noise When you’ve spent years calling them home You started sleeping facing the window Like even your body was leaving first After all these fucking years You tore my heart out without shaking Turned our memories into smoke Like none of it was real to you I gave you every fractured piece Every sleepless night, every bleeding hope And you stood there cold as winter Watching me collapse into myself Your perfume changed before your excuses did Strange messages glowing after midnight I kept pretending not to notice Because truth felt worse than blindness You kissed me with a dead expression Hands warm but already gone Somebody else was living in your mouth Every time you said you loved me You didn’t just leave You erased me slowly enough to watch it happen WAS I JUST SOMETHING TO KEEP YOU COMPANY UNTIL SOMEBODY BETTER WALKED THROUGH THE DOOR? YOU FUCKING WATCHED ME BUILD MY LIFE AROUND YOU THEN SET FIRE TO IT WITHOUT LOOKING BACK After all these years beside you I still don’t know which parts were honest Was every “forever” just another costume? Another beautiful lie to survive inside? Now your side of the bed stays empty Like a grave I refuse to bury And I still hear your voice at night Even knowing it destroys me I loved you long enough To forget who I was before you
