Left Behind

You found me in my darkest days,

Held my hand through endless haze.

You kissed my scars, you made me whole,

Told me I was yours, body and soul.

I let you in, I let you stay,

Never thought you'd walk away.

I carved my love in words so deep,

But now they're just the ghosts I keep.

You wore my ring, you kept it near,

Whispered words I longed to hear.

But seasons changed, the distance grew,

And suddenly, I meant nothing to you.

You called me love, your dearest friend,

Swore our bond would never end.

But silence came, so cold, so fast,

And I became a shadow of your past.

One message was all it took,

To break the heart you never shook.

You pushed me out, you shut me down,

Left me gasping as I drowned.

I cried where no one else could see,

Wished you'd just explain to me.

Was I a moment? Just a phase?

Or did I truly mean those days?

You said forever, was it a lie?

Did I not love enough to try?

I gave you gifts, my time, my trust,

But all it turned to was fading dust.

And now you pass me, just a glance,

Like we were never hand in hand.

With someone else, you laugh, you glow,

While I am left to mourn alone.

So tell me, was it ever real?

Did you love me, did you feel?

Or was I just a place to land,

Until you found a better hand?

You came back, explained it all,

But you're not the same, you let me fall.

No longer obsessed, no longer mine,

Now your love has drawn a line.

Engaged to her, a secret untold,

I saw the truth, I watched it unfold.

Not dumb enough to trust your lies,

Just quiet while my heart cries.

Sitting with her, like I don’t exist,

While I fade away into the mist.

Jealous? Maybe. Hurt? Oh, yes.

But I won’t be the one you second-guess.

I'm a leftover, an option, a choice,

But I deserve more than a silenced voice.

So I’ll stand, I’ll leave, I’ll let you be,

And love myself the way you never loved me.
