I’ve stumbled through shadows, made choices I regret,
But I’m learning to rise, not just drown in the debt.
You’ve drawn your lines, firm, sharp, and deep —
Yet I carry the weight while you barely weep.

You chose the path, the pets, the place,
And I followed along, hiding my face.
I longed for a child, for laughter and light,
But silence was louder than what felt right.

Yes, I’ve been wrong, but I want to be true,
Not the villain in every story of you.
Let’s break the blame and rebuild the trust —
Or let us walk, if walk we must.

But if you still care, then meet me halfway —
Let’s seek the dawn, not dwell in yesterday.
