I Thought It Was Love

I thought it was love, but it’s cracks in the plaster

Heart beating fast, now it’s beating disaster

Ghosts in my chest playing tag with the silence

Cupid’s arrows tipped in violence

Promises faded, the ink turned to vapor

Memories torn, sharp edges like paper

You smiled, then the room got colder

I’m Atlas but the world slipped off my shoulder

I thought it was love, I thought it was real

Now it’s a scar that refuses to heal

I thought it was us, but it’s me in the end

I thought it was love, just a wound to defend

Kisses like venom, sweet poison in doses

Eyes like a riddle, emotions ferocious

Late-night confessions, you laughed through my crying

I’m still alive, but it feels like I’m dying

Hollow goodbyes echo loud in my mind

I rewind, but the truth’s hard to find

A ghost of your hand still gripping my throat

I’m drowning in tears, but the ship doesn’t float

I wrote you in stars, but the sky went black

Chased every dream, but you ain’t coming back

Your voice, a shadow that whispers regret

I’m stuck in the debt of the love I forget
