You didn't fall apart all at once.
Love just kept hurting.
Until I stayed.
So between the love and fights,
we stopped sleeping peacefully at night.
You said we'd heal, we'd find our way.
But healing never came to stay.
Love turned into scars.
I carry on my heart.
Every word you left unsaid left a mark I can't restart.
I don't bleed on the outside,
but the pain still feels so hard.
I never thought forever would turn love into scars.
I still hear you laughing, crowded rooms.
Still feel your absence in the afternoons.
You moved on like it was nothing new.
While I'm learning how to live without you.
I try to hate you just to heal.
But love don't vanish when it's real.
Fades into a quiet ache.
That time don't always take away.
If love could warn me before it breaks,
I'd guard my heart from all the stakes.
But I gave you all of me to hold,
and now I'm standing here in the dark.
And I hide beneath my skin.
I smile so nobody knows
what I'm fighting deep within.
I don't
want to blame you, I just hurt
from the pieces you took apart.
I never thought true love
could turn love into scars.
Maybe someday I'll love again.
Without fear, without these wounds.
