let go inside your head.

You touched my soul with fingers cold.

like snow pretending it could hold

the fire it begged for. But feared to keep.

You kissed my wounds

But made them deep.

I stitched my silence into words

so you could read my breaking.

You read them, yes—

But kept taking.

I gave you all the light I had,

the embers left drenching my heart.

You said it warmed you—

But never stayed.

Said it felt like home—

But abandoned it, and moved on your own.

Yet I tried.

You are the star inside my chest

and still you messed.

But left the rest...

I held on tight—my knuckles bled—

while you let go inside your head.

Now I stand like a herd-less sheppard.

Chasing, the past haunting leopard.

now, I stand where we once stood,

a beast of storm engulfed within,

where once, at least, calm might have been.

I scream your name,

but no reply—

You taught me love with severed chords,

with maybe smiles and half-meant words.

You said I mattered,

but now you are the one, who scattered.

But I'm the one shattered.

Looking back, at where we came

You almost loved me.

Almost stayed.

Almost tried.

But still—betrayed.
