Finding Me

I never asked for this, but now it’s here,
The weight of your words and the edge of your fear.
You say you were broken, but so am I,
Caught in a story where love is a lie.

You told me I was your joy, your light,
But then came the darkness that stole the night.
I’m not the enemy, not the one to blame,
But you turned your back, now we’re not the same.

You say you love me, but you can’t let go,
The scars run deeper than you’ll ever know.
We were fire once, but now we’re ash,
Holding on to something that’s burning too fast.
I’m walking away, I’m done with this fight,
You can’t keep me chained in the shadows of night.

You told me your past, but I’ve got mine too,
Survivors of battles, not just victims of you.
You talk about scars, but they don’t define,
The truth is we both crossed too many lines.

You thought I was healing, but I can’t stay,
In the lies we built, there’s no other way.
Your words, like daggers, cut deep in my soul,
But I’m standing up, I’m taking control.

I’m not who I was, I won’t be your fall,
I’m rising above, I’m breaking this wall.
You can’t fix what’s shattered, the pieces don’t fit,
I’m leaving behind what we couldn’t admit.

You say you love me, but you can’t let go,
The scars run deeper than you’ll ever know.
We were fire once, but now we’re ash,
Holding on to something that’s burning too fast.
I’m walking away, I’m done with this fight,
You can’t keep me chained in the shadows of night.

I used to believe we could make it right,
But now I see clearer through all the fights.
You can’t keep me down, I’ve got wings to soar,
I’m stronger than ever, can’t hurt me no more.

You said you were lost, but I’m finding me,
In a world without you, I’m learning to breathe.
The chains that you held, I’ve broken apart,
No longer a prisoner inside your heart.

I’ve walked through the fire, but now I’m free,
The ashes of us, they no longer haunt me.
You’ll stay in the past, where you belong,
While I find my voice and sing a new song.

I hope you heal from the pain inside,
But I’m moving forward, no longer denied.
The love that I need is inside my skin,
And this is the chapter where I begin.
