I faded into the forest, as you set fire to the trees. I ran but the smoke came faster choking me until I can't breathe.
You laughed while I burned slowly, you never showed any concern.
I was warned about your demons but I ignored all rumors to give you a chance to prove yourself. But it only took you a year to show your true colors.
You were never the beautiful person, you never was my best friend and a shoulder to lean on.
You brought me a broken heart a shadow that resides solely in the darkness.
You, the deceiver, the sharp tool that came to carve me away, and devour everything I worked hard for.
The scars you inflicted upon me remain raw and exposed, accompanied by a profound absence of genuine sorrow, with no remorse, no regrets you are a reminder of everything I never wanted. You tried to drown me in your failures only to discover that I have emerged stronger from the struggles I have previously endured. You can't break something that's already broken and struggling to survive.
I am a riser, a fighter, a sunset gracing the horizon, destined to shine more radiantly with each strike you deliver; the only remnants of your efforts are mere sparks illuminating the darkness, revealing your true nature.
