Defeat

I gave you nights I should’ve kept,

I loved you more than I loved myself.

You said I’d never lose you,

But now I’m just losing my health.

You watched me fall in silence,

No reach, no scream, no guilt.

Now I’m lying in the ruins

Of the house we swore we’d build.

I still wait for your name on my phone,

Even when I know it’s turned to stone.

Told myself you needed space to breathe—

But you just needed space from me.

This ain't heartbreak — this is defeat.

I gave you heaven, you gave me grief.

Built you a throne, got buried beneath...

Now I'm the ashes beneath your feet.

You didn’t kill me — just watched me break.

Guess love’s a war I lost too late.

I ain’t the type to beg, I let bridges burn in silence,

Turned my pain into diamonds, now my heart speak in violence.

I was loyal to a fault, you was loyal to the thrills,

Had me poppin’ all these pills just to feel what’s real.

I was down bad, still frontin’ like I’m up,

Love got me drownin’ in a double cup.

Now I ghost calls, don’t pick up pain,

Taught me love’s just war with a prettier name.

Had to ice my heart, had to freeze my pride,

Now I love from afar — I don’t step inside.

No trust, no vows, just designer and doubt,

Tried to build with you, but you tore it down.

Got no room for regret, only space for a wraith,

You prayed for heaven, but lied to my face.

Now you post like you miss me, but I see through the act—

Girl, you lost a real one, and I ain’t lookin’ back

Now I see it in your eyes —

You left long before goodbye.

I gave my all just to taste defeat,

Loved a war I knew I couldn’t beat.

This ain't heartbreak — this is defeat.

I gave you heaven, you gave me grief.

Built you a throne, got buried beneath...

Now I'm the ashes beneath your feet.

You didn’t kill me — just watched me break.

Guess love’s a war I lost too late

I lit the match and blamed you for the fire,

Tried to rebuild what we both let expire.

Now I wear your absence like a chain,

Kissed your memory just to feel the pain.

This is defeat — dressed in velvet and lies,

Love that dies with open eyes.

You were the storm I begged to stay,

Now I curse your name in ash and grey.

I gave you all and watched you leave,

Still haunted by the ghost of me.

If this was love, then let it bleed...

‘Cause this is what defeat should be.

Go ahead. Post the pictures.

Rewrite the story.

I’ll keep the truth…

Right here, where it cut me
