You came to me in broken light
I held your pieces through the night
To you, I was a gentle stay
A quiet stop along the way

A moment's peace, a place to breathe
Not love, not roots, just time to grieve
Yet still, the thought won't set me freeβ€”
That I was used to set you free

And still I hoped, despite the ache
In fleeting smiles I saw you wake
Sometimes it felt you truly cared
Like I was seen, like I was there

Like love had brushed across your chest
Then vanished, leaving all the rest
But I, I only meant to heal
To touch your soul, to make it feel

You were the world I held so tight
A fragile star I kept in light
I gave you all, then let you go
Too tired to carry what you don't show

And when I left, you let me slip
No tremble in your loosened grip
No second glance, no final plea
Just silence, where you left me be
