Double mirror

Late night echoes in an empty room

Your name still lingers like cheap perfume

I replay moments I can’t undo

Wondering if you ever felt it too

I was the calm when your world shook hard

The open arms when you fell apart

I gave you love with no disguise

While hiding cracks behind my eyes

Now distance speaks louder than words

Silence cuts deeper than what I heard

I’m fighting doubts I never had

Trying to save what we once had

Love, why does it feel like war?

Giving everything, still wanting more

I’m holding on, down to my core

But tell me—what am I fighting for?

I stay strong, but my heart still bleeds

I gave you truth, you gave me needs

I’m still here, down on my knees

Hoping someday you’ll choose me

I watched you drift without a sound

Like gravity stopped holding you down

You smile different when I’m not there

Like my presence fades into thin air

I wish you felt what I can’t say

How fast forever slipped away

I’m loving you from a losing place

Still memorizing your face

Love, why does it feel like war?

Giving everything, still wanting more

I’m holding on, down to my core

But tell me—what am I fighting for?

I stay strong, but my heart still bleeds

I gave you truth, you gave me needs

I’m still here, down on my knees

Hoping someday you’ll choose me

This new year I draw my line

Choose my peace, reclaim my time

If loving you means losing me

Then maybe letting go sets me free

I won’t beg fate to understand

I’ll learn to walk with steady hands

If you return, I’ll meet you whole

If not, I’ll heal my soul

Love, you don’t have to break me down

I’ve worn this hurt like a heavy crown

I stood tall when you weren’t around

Still standing here on shaky ground

If love comes back, I’ll know the cost

If it doesn’t, I’ll mourn the loss

Either way, I’ll rise again

Not bitter—just wiser than I’ve bee
