I stepped into your world half-blind, Heart unguarded, tongue tied. You wore heaven like a blade, I thought your hurt would hurt me less than staying the same. Your eyes were promises dressed in blue, Every lie felt almost true. I gave you quiet, I gave you skin, You smiled slow and let the damage in. You kissed me like you meant to stay, Spoke devotion, breathed decay. I thought I was safe inside your hands— Now I’m haunted by the things we had. I was just a fool for you, Bled belief into every truth. You broke me sweet, then let me fall Like I was nothing after all. I still feel every place you touched, Even where it was too much. You played your role so effortlessly, Said “forever” like a certainty. I wore your name beneath my breath, Now it tastes like quiet death. You loved me soft, you loved me small, Loved me best when I didn’t call. Now I’m the echo you pretend Was never yours to begin. You wanted fragile, you wanted tame, You fed me love, then taught me shame. I became the ghost you blamed For every fire you lit in my name. I was just a fool for you, Pretty thing you pulled in two. I held your lies like lullabies Till they rotted through the truth. You don’t get to leave me cold After taking all I broke. You called it love, but kept the knife, Said I was mad, then fed the fire. I don’t want vengeance, I don’t want blood— I just want you to miss my love. I want you to ache the way I smiled When I knew you were lying. I was just a fool for you, Now I’m what your lies turned into. You carved your name into my skin, So don’t look shocked when I let you in. If I can’t forget your touch, You don’t get peace—you gave me too much. I loved you holy. You loved me hollow.
