Do You Feel the Same

You always swore that I was what you dreamed,

But I was chasing quiet, not a king.

Needed safety more than fire,

Took your hand, but not desire.

So I built a home out of my past.

Told myself I’d never break,

But you cracked me first, now here’s my mistake.

I wear forgiveness like perfume,

Sweet but heavy in the room.

You’ll never know what I’ve concealed,

A wound that time refused to heal.

Do you feel the same, when you look at me?

Or do your eyes still wander where I can’t see?

I swore I’d never fall, but here I am,

Caught between your heart and my own hands.

If I confessed, would you still stay?

Or would the love we built decay?

Do you love me like I love you —

Or do you still betray?

We called it even, though you never knew,

That I became the mirror you looked through.

My guilt was quiet, soft, and small,

But it’s grown to echo through these walls.

We turned from war to worn-out peace,

Traded rage for apathy’s release.

And somewhere in the calm, it changed,

My heart forgot why it was caged.

I trace your touch, it feels divine,

But every kiss reminds me of the line.

I crossed it once, I can’t undo,

The sinner learned to pray for you.

Do you feel the same, when you look at me?

Or do your eyes still wander where I can’t see?

I swore I’d never fall, but here I am,

Caught between your heart and my own hands.

If I confessed, would you still stay?

Or would the love we built decay?

Do you love me like I love you —

Or do you still betray?

Maybe we’re just built from broken glass,

Loving what reflects, not what will last.

If truth could set me free tonight,

Would you hold me, or turn out the light?

Do you feel the same, when you say my name?

Is it real, or just a game we play?

I fell for you through all the pain,

But I’m still haunted by my shame.

If I confessed, would you still stay?

Or would I watch it all fade away?

Do you love me like I love you —

Or do you still betray?
