You shimmered with allure, glistening in every light,
I was drawn to your radiance, captivated by your sight.
How easily I was fooled, setting alarms just to cope,
You were my escape from despair, my fleeting hope.
You offered me refuge from the depths of my sorrow,
But to save myself, I had to leave you by tomorrow.
The applause wasn’t for me, it was all for you,
While I stood in the shadows, unsure of what to do.
Sweating through complaints, with broken air and bitter stares,
Your depths once felt like calm blue seas, now drowning in despair.
You turned me into someone I could barely recognize,
Addicted to your rhythm, but bound in unseen ties.
Was I too weak, or were you not meant for me?
Oh, sweet deception, you masked your sting like a bee.
Deadlines piled high, you demanded more each day,
You took everything, leaving me in disarray.
Once, they called me warm—bright, cheerful, kind,
Now, after you, only coldness remains in my mind.
My dreams once soared—free, untamed, and high,
Now I’m tethered to this chair, watching time pass by.
Yet I thank you for the lessons you carved in my soul,
Through all the chaos, you left me some semblance of control.
Though I wasn’t ready, I had to walk away,
But I know you have more, waiting to say.
You consumed my thoughts, lost in material desire,
But soon even these wants will burn out like fire.
Still, I’m grateful for the path we shared, without regret or shame,
For I’ll return one day, to tell the stories of your name.
