In moments alone, I gaze at my ceiling,

Reflecting on love, its uncertain feeling.

You and I, somewhere in between,

More than friends, yet not quite seen.

Your affection, a dance of highs and lows,

Mixed signals that my heart knows.

Promises of care , then cruel disdain,

Leaving me lost, in emotional pain.

I held on tight, believing in you,

Despite the hurt, I saw through.

But your actions spoke louder than words,

Leaving wounds, like sharp-edged swords.

You chose others , behind my back,

ignoring the love I never lacked.

I gave my all, support and more,

Yet you failed to see, what was in store.

One day, I awoke, decided to stray,

Letting indifference lead the way.

For my heart grew weary, tired of the chase,

No longer a victim, of your heart’s embrace.

Now, I love you from afar,

Shielding my heart, with a distant star.

It pains to know, I wasn’t enough,

Left with scars, from your careless bluff.

But I’ll move on, find my stride,

Leaving behind, the tears I cried.

For in the end, I’ll stand tall and free,

No longer defined , by what I couldn’t be.
