untitled #1

You never loved me, that much was clear, In shadows cast, the truth would appear. A flicker of light, a gentle charade, But beneath the surface, our love started to fade. I scroll through memories, both bitter and sweet, Yet here in my heart, there's a thorn at my feet. You swiped on profiles, a game I can’t play, In the glow of your screen, you found a new way. A Tinder account, a digital dance, While I held my breath, hoping for chance. The laughter we shared, now echoes alone, In the silence between us, you’ve made your choice known. I’ve seen the phone calls, the whispers at night, Each ring a reminder of love turned to fight. You wore a façade, a mask made of art, Yet I saw through the lies, the betraying heart. So here we stand, at the edge of our tale, Once fiery passion, now muted and pale. You never loved me, it’s a truth I can face, But still, I remember the dreams we embraced. I’ll gather my pieces, reclaim what is mine, In the ashes of us, a new path will shine. For love was a lesson, a chapter to close, And in the soft silence, my spirit will grow.
