By Catalyst

When I sit and close my eyes,
I can still feel the sharp sting—
Frozen, numbed,
You’d think the pain was not real.

You pulled me in,
And I should’ve tugged ‘til I got out,
But my heart, stretched thin,
Felt the weight of love—
Now, only regret lingers.

You thought you knew me,
Never once asking—
I gave you truth,
Laid it all bare,
But you treated me like a fool.
Stupid? Yes, I’ll own that.
To fall for someone like you.

You brought nothing but pain,
And still, I sit here,
Dumbfounded—
Wondering where it all went wrong.
Was it you? Was it me?
Or was it simply that we weren’t meant to be?

You were the coward,
I took the leap,
Fears and doubts on my chest,
But I followed my heart—
Didn’t think it through.
Your half-truths led me on,
Made me believe in lies.

You pulled me in,
But pushed me away,
With every mind game you played,
And I—
I almost walked away.
But you reeled me back in.

I treated you better than the rest,
Spoke the things buried deep,
But you knew the truth—
You had my heart,
From the start.
But where was yours?
When you pushed me out the door,
When I asked for more?

I’m not average—
I’m well-established,
I make my own way.
It wasn’t about what you had,
But what you couldn’t give—
Love. Real love.
No games, just truth.

No heart.
You had no heart.
Cold as ice,
Hot as fire,
You were addictive—
But I had to run away
From the one who stole my breath,
The thief of my heart.

You played games from the start,
No truth, just control,
And life moved on.
I came at you too strong,
But you didn’t care.
Now nothing remains.

No heart.
You had no heart.
And still, I sit here, eyes closed,
The pain in my chest
Becomes all I know.
Just a painful memory—
No sobriety.

Coward, you were,
I took the leap,
Fears and doubts held me tight,
But I followed my heart,
Though I didn’t think it through.
Now I’m lost in the dark,
With nothing but scars.

You pulled me in,
But I should’ve tugged ‘til I got out.
My heart hung on a thin line—
Love him now or later,
When he’s gone.
But life moves on.
Still, I’m dumbfounded,
Wondering where it all went wrong.
Was it you? Was it me?
Or were we never meant to be?
