Crumbs of Love

Echoes of promises, shadows of doubt

Walking away from a love I can't hold out

What I needed was someone for me

Loyalty like the roots of a tree

Gave you my all, my heart on display

But I was your comfort, your pillow, your stay

You promised stars, but gave me just dust

Left me to pick up what I could trust

Crumbs of love, empty and cold

Left with the pieces, stories untold

I am stronger, wiser than I seem

Breaking free from this broken dream

Said I do to myself, found my peace

From shattered love, I find release

All I could give, I gave it free

Now I’m finally choosing me

No more shadows, no more pain

Rising up from the rain

Walking away from what once was

Loving myself the way it was

Leaving the pieces where they lay

Starting my new day
