Ten Years Gone

ten years… gone in a click.

all that love — a glitch, a trick.

(i tried… i tried…)

I kept the peace, bit my tongue,

built our world where I didn’t belong.

you lied in smiles, I played blind,

forgiveness became my alibi.

your words — a loop, i learned the sound,

same excuses spinning round.

I cleaned the mess, you made the fire,

I lost myself inside the liar.

ten years wasted — you burned the proof,

every truth bent out of truth.

you played your part, i played it too,

but I’m not dying here with you.

(not with you… not with you…)

I stayed through storms, through hollow nights,

you said you’d change, but you just lied.

you called it love, but love’s not pain,

I gave it all — you stayed the same.

now silence feels like oxygen,

the air is sharp, but mine again.

you fade like smoke, I let you fall,

you never knew me after all.

ten years wasted — you burned the proof,

every truth bent out of truth.

you played your part, i played it too,

but I’m not dying here with you.

delete the pictures, cut the name,

erase the ghost, erase the shame.

I gave enough to light the grave,

now I rise — unafraid.

(gone… gone…)

ten years gone — i’m still here,

no more lies, no more fear.

you took my time, but not my flame,

I’m not the girl you broke again.
