Faded Light

Each time the truth unraveled, bare and cold,  
A crack split the mirror where trust was told.  
Her eyes, a maze of stories half-declared,  
Left me wondering if she ever cared.  

The room would hush, yet thunder filled my chest,  
A cyclone of “why,” robbing me of rest.  
How could the vows, once sacred and pure,  
Turn to echoes I could not endure?  

I stood there, holding shards of what was mine,  
A love betrayed, no longer divine.  
Her footsteps echoed, fading into night,  
While I clung to fragments of fading light.  

Yet with each fracture, strength was born,  
From fields of grief, resilience torn.  
I wondered, aching, if I deserved more—  
The answer clear: a wide-open door.  

For love is not a cage, nor pain a chain,  
It's a bond that lifts, not leaves a stain.  
And though I forgive, I choose to part,  
Guarding the pieces of my mending heart.
