I thought it would be different,
A love that could hold me,
But here I am, alone,
While you slip through my fingers, so free.
You were my safe place, my anchor,
But now your words sting like cold steel,
The ones I trusted to heal me,
Now the ones that make me feel unreal.
Why does love feel so conditional,
As if it’s something I need to prove?
What about the love I gave you,
The one you didn’t want to move?
Am I not worthy of something simple—
A love that doesn’t twist and break?
Am I too much, or just not enough
To be held in a love that doesn’t ache?
You told me love shouldn’t hurt,
But with you, it’s a pain that never fades.
I only wanted to be seen,
To be enough for the love I craved.
I don’t need the world—just your truth,
A glimpse, a sign, some proof,
That I’m not just a shadow you walk past,
That I haven’t been left in the past.
But every time I reach,
You turn away, colder than before.
And I’m left with nothing but silence,
And the question, what did I fall for?
