I kept waiting for you to change,
to see the cracks and mend them,
but I realized I was waiting for a ghost
that would never come back.
I can’t keep putting in effort
where there’s no ground to stand on,
no foundation to hold us.
I’m tired of fighting a battle
that’s already been lost.
I love you,
but I can’t keep loving you this way.
I can’t keep watching us fall apart
while I pretend we’re okay.
I broke my own heart
because I had no choice
but to let you go,
and yet I’m still holding onto this love
like it’s all I’ve ever known.
