[perfidious lover]
You stood there, calm and composed,twisting my pain into something poetic,something convenient,something that let you walk away clean. You spoke in careful distortions,so fluid, so certain,I started questioning the ground beneath me. Perfidious lover, with hands so cruel,you dismantled me piece by piece,unraveled conviction from bone,left me sifting through the ruinsof a reality you swore…

[twisted truth]
It starts in the corners of the room,small, quiet—just a whisper of doubt.You can’t see it, can’t name it,but it wraps around your ribs,tightens slowly,like a noose made of wordsthat never land. It’s a brush of silence when you need answers,a look that says “you’re too much”without ever speaking it.It’s gaslit laughter,twisted truths that crawl…

[To My Love]
I’m sorry,for not being whole,for not giving you the love I know you deserve.I wish I could hand you somethingthat wasn’t fractured—a heart that hasn’t been worn downby ghosts of a love I lost before you. I try,so hard,to be the woman who holds you completely,but how do I give you everythingwhen I can’t even…

[From a distance]
I watch your life in pictures now,the way I used to watch you dream.Frozen smiles, captured moments—proof that you exist without me. I scroll through strangers in your arms,searching for some trace of regret.But your eyes don’t carry echoes,no ghosts of what we left. I feel you forget me,like breath fading from a mirror.Like a…

[ever]
I reach for you in dreams,the only place where time bends backward,where your name still tastes like honeyinstead of salt on my tongue. Do ever you dream of me, too?Or did you teach your mind to forgetthe way my voice once felt like home? I wonder if you ever flinchat the sound of my name…

[What Would Hurt Less]
If I could erase you from my past,I would never have knownthe warmth of love even if it wasn’t real.I would never have felt the rush of hopethat I could be someone’s forever.I would never have built my worldaround promises made in the dark. But if I could go back to before the fallout,before everything…

[Thirteen Years]
Thirteen years,and it still feels like I’m waking up in the middle of a stormthat hasn’t stopped raging.You stole so much more than a love I believed in,you stole a piece of me,a part that now only existsin memories I can’t touchand a heart I can’t repair. I was innocent then,believing in forever,believing in promises…

[Weighted Down by Us]
Each memory of you is a stone in my pocket,dragging me under before I can catch my breath.They come without warning,slipping through cracks in my mind,stacking themselves higheruntil I can’t stand beneath the weight. Your voice lingers like an old song,one I don’t mean to hum,but the melody spills from my lips anyway.Your name is…

[And Yet, You Thrived]
You said you wanted to marry me.Swore up and down,You’re it, you’re the one, I could never love anyone like this.And then you left. No explanation. No closure.Just vanished—like I was nothing but a passing thought,a mistake you regretted,a phase you outgrew. And I?I was wrecked.A year of my life, gone.A heart full of promises,…

[Mendacious Man]
You walked in like a sonnet,all perfect rhythm and practiced rhyme,whispering words so sweetI never thought to check for poison. You made me feel chosen.Like the only one, the forever one.Like fate itself had wrapped me in silk and goldand placed me at your feet. You looked at me like I was a masterpiece,spoke my…
