In the shadows of your love, I dwelled,

A constant heartbeat, yet forever fell.

I tried to perfect every fragment of me,

But your eyes saw only imperfections, a reflection not of me.

I coloured your red flags green,

Convinced that love could heal the unseen.

But you mirrored my flaws, and I became,

The very flag I once tried to reclaim.

In your eyes, I was never enough,

A fragile melody, lost in the rough.

I hid your blemishes, your every scar,

But you made me feel like I was never who you are.

I’m sorry..

I’m not the symphony you sought,

Not the rhythm that made your heart feel caught.

I’m Sorry..

I’m not the one you desired,

A fleeting dream, forever expired ..

Now, I’ll love you from a distance, it’s true,

A bittersweet serenade, sung only to you.

But I choose me, the melody I’ve found,

A harmony of self-love, where I am enough, I am profound.
