It was just a red flag I failed to see,
I looked into your eyes while the truth was wounding me.
I was blind to the signs, yet convinced it was true love—
But in the end, I was wrong, releasing my last dove.
The final thread of hope that things would be alright,
That I could still believe in all you said each night.
Where did it go wrong? When did it fall apart?
Do I deserve this ending and a broken heart?
I was planning our future with a hopeful embrace,
Unaware that to you, I was never your “forever” place.
I carried our dreams, thinking you’d be near—
But you let me suffer while you disappeared.
I hoped someone would stay as I reached our shared goal,
That we’d build a life with no secrets untold.
I hoped we’d be partners, side by side through the storm,
But instead, I was left with a heart that’s worn.
You let go slowly, though your body remained,
A silent distance that words never explained.
You lived on like we never shared anything real,
While I stood alone, learning how to heal.
You said we’d endure the pain as one,
You promised a future—then chose to run.
You left in the middle, halfway through the climb,
Leaving me to carry the weight and the time.
Love should’ve been our safe, steady place—
A bond that brought light when life lost its grace.
But it became a shackle, heavy and tight,
A battle I fought with no end in sight.
Still, I let you go, though it tore me apart,
Watching you move on like you had no heart.
I forced a smile while drowning in pain,
Trusting that in time, I’ll feel whole again.
So let the tears fall, let the silence be loud,
I’ll rise from this sorrow, strong and unbowed.
Because I believe, through every wrong and every fight—
I’ll be okay again… when the time is right.
