I let you in,
Invited you into my sanctuary,
Shared with you the depths of my soul,
The hidden corners that no one else had touched.
I opened my heart,
Gave you a piece of me that I can never reclaim.
You learned my darkest secrets,
The truths I kept locked away,
But you took advantage,
Filled my mind with sweet lies and hollow promises—
Whispers of a beautiful tomorrow, sunsets, and rainbows.

You showed me what love could feel like,
And then, just like that, you wrenched it away.
Now, I'm left with an ache,
An endless void of sorrow I never asked for.
You promised me the moon,
Yet all I have is this shattered heart.
I can't grasp why it hurts so deeply,
Even after just two weeks.
Perhaps it was the safety I felt,
The belief that you were the missing piece of my puzzle,
Only to find myself let down once more.

You linger in my thoughts,
Our laughter echoes against the walls.
The joy that once filled my days is now absent,
Every moment reminds me of you—
Soft kisses on my forehead, gentle caresses,
Whispers that once melted my heart.
I want to know where it all unraveled.
Was it my mistake to give you space?
Or was it something I did?

We vowed to be open, to share our feelings,
But it seemed I was the only one willing to bare my soul.
Were your intentions ever sincere?
Did you only seek to take what you wanted and leave?
Or did I care too much?
Was I not enough for you?
Did I lack self-worth?
Perhaps I was naïve,
Believing someone could promise the moon and still be my greatest mistake.

I trusted you with my heart,
And now I feel discarded,
Like forgotten waste.
My body feels foreign,
Overthinking and second-guessing,
Hoping and praying that the worst isn't true.
I wish you could feel my pain,
The sleepless nights filled with regret,
Endless tears begging for understanding.

Yet, somewhere deep inside,
I wish you well,
For the one who will love you next.
I know I should let go,
Should gather the broken pieces and find someone willing to fight for me,
But everything seems meaningless now.
So, this is goodbye,
Though it hurts like hell.
It's time to fully release you.
I wish you nothing but the best in life,
And hope whatever you seek finds you.
