Just Convenient

I stood beside you through the doubt

Believed in every word you said

I gave you truth, I gave you time

While you kept one foot out instead

I held the line when it got hard

You looked away when it was real

I was the calm you leaned upon

Never the fire you chose to feel

I see it now

With open eyes

I was your comfort

Not your life

You had your chance

And you made it clear

I wasn’t the one you wanted near

I gave my heart

You gave me distance

I wasn’t chosen

I was just convenient

I ignored the cracks beneath my feet

Called your silence understanding

Every excuse you wrapped in fear

Left my faith slowly unraveling

I fought for something honest and true

You waited for something better to come

I was the place you hid your doubt

Never the place you’d call home

I won’t pretend

I won’t deny

You took my love

And passed it by

You had your chance

And you made it clear

I wasn’t the one you wanted near

I gave my strength

You kept your distance

I wasn’t loved

I was just convenient

I won’t carry your indecision

I won’t bleed for your escape

You don’t get to hold my heart

While you search for something else

I release what was never mine

I reclaim the parts you left behind

You had your chance

You let it go

I see the truth

I’ve come to know

I stood my ground

I found my reason

I wasn’t weak—

I was just convenient

I walk away with open hands

No regret, no bitterness

You lost someone who would’ve stayed

I found myself—and that’s enough
