i gave you everything i had
every part of me
i didn’t hold back
i chose you
every time
even when it wasn’t easy
and that’s what i don’t understand
how i could give you the world
and still feel like
it wasn’t enough
like you needed something more
somewhere else
that i didn’t even know i was missing
why did it happen
and why did the truth come in pieces
why did i have to feel it
before i ever heard it
why did honesty feel distant
like something i had to search for
why did it keep changing
every time i tried to understand
i keep going back
to every moment that felt real
trying to understand
where it stopped being that
and i don’t know what hurts more
what happened
or not knowing the whole of it
because i’m still here
still caring
still trying to believe
there’s something left to hold onto
but trust doesn’t rebuild
on half-answers
and i don’t know how to stand steady
when the ground keeps shifting
i’m not asking for perfect
i’m asking for real
because if you don’t want to lose me
then don’t make me feel
like i’m the only one
trying to stay
