Gone

Oh, why did I let you in?

The door was shut, my heart kept in.

Promises whispered late at night,

Thought I had found the light.

You came like a storm, so sweet and warm,

I thought I could trust, I thought you’d transform.

In my fragile shell, I opened wide,

Believed you’d stay, never thought you’d hide.

You spun your tales, made everything seem right,

But shadows followed, creeping in from the light.

Now I’m left with pieces, starting from scratch,

Your moment of weakness burned more than a match.

I thought I could breathe, thought I could mend,

But this is the end, my heart won't pretend.

You painted dreams, now I see the lies,

A canvas shattered, covered in goodbyes.

What once was ours, a love that felt true,

Now just a memory of you breaking through.

Every soft whisper turned to bitter screams,

Wishing I could wake from these haunting dreams.

Now I’m left with pieces, starting from scratch,

Your moment of weakness burned more than a match.

I thought I could breathe, thought I could mend,

But this is the end, my heart won't pretend.

I’ll rise from the ashes, reclaim what is mine,

This tapestry of hurt, I’ll refashion and twine.

The scars will remain, but they’ll tell my story,

From the depths of sorrow to a place of glory.

So why did I let you in? Oh, that I now know,

The strength in my heart will help me to grow.

I’ll carry the lessons, embrace the strife,

I’ll rebuild the pieces, I’ll reclaim my life.
