And the biggest heartbreak of it all Was never just that they fell apart It’s that she had been taught she didn’t deserve real love It’s that the echoes of her past told her she would never be enough He tried to show her she was enough Ghosts from her past left fingerprints on every crumbling stone She built a mausoleum around her heart Sealing away the fears that whisper in moonlit misery He felt the spark in her laughter when she let herself be seen He cherished the quiet strength hidden behind the armour He searched for an opening to reach her heart Praying his love was enough Love was like poison running through her veins Bitter yet so sweet and unsafe to swallow She felt the ache of the “what if” And ran from the pleasure of “this is where I belong” He tried to be her antidote She began to see him as pathetic She wore a cold smirk knowing that he became broken like her Now, she dwells behind her phantom-filled mausoleum. Wrapped in the regret of losing him Haunted by his absence, like a chaotic comforting lullaby aching in the background Struggling to survive the biggest heartbreak of it all
