Empty

You said forever like it couldn’t break,
while stacking lies I chose to take.

You cheated once—then again, then more,
and I kept crawling back to a closing door.

You swore she was nothing, said it so clean,
while hiding the truth in places I’d never see.

You used me up like I couldn’t feel,
twisted my pain into something unreal.

You said my trust issues tore us apart,
but you were the one who planted them in my heart.

You cut me deeper than anyone ever could,
left scars in places no one understood.

Now I don’t cry, don’t beg, don’t run—
just sit here staring at what I’ve become.
                                                                                             A ghost in my body, cold and undone,                                                                                                breathing, but feeling like I’m already gone.

The silence is louder than anything you’d say,
and numb is the only thing that stays.
