I used to trust the comfort of your gaze,
A haven where my restless heart could stay,
But now I see the shadows in your eyes,
Small fractures that no gentle words can sway.
-
The promises you made feel thin as glass,
Fragile things that shatter in my hands,
Each lie you told, a slowly spreading crack,
A silent break that no one understands.
-
You say you love me, and I almost hear,
But doubt now lingers in the spaces close,
Your touch no longer soothes, but breeds a fear,
A quiet ache that only distance knows.
-
I used to find the world within your arms,
But now they feel like walls I cannot breach,
I hold my breath and brace against the harm,
Each kiss a fading lesson you can't teach.
-
We speak, but all I hear are empty tones,
Soft echoes of the truth we used to share,
I pick apart the meaning in your words,
And find there's nothing honest left in there.
-
It's not a sudden break, but a slow unwind,
The threads of love unraveling to dust,
You've spun the web of doubt inside my mind,
And left me lost between love and mistrust.
-
So now I drift away with every sigh,
A little colder with each setting sun,
No grand goodbyes, no reasons left to cry,
Just two hearts breaking softly, one by one.
