I knew you were trouble the moment we met,
But I handed you trust with no safety net.
You spoke of forever, of dreams we could chase,
While hiding your secrets behind your embrace.
You painted me pictures of loyalty bright,
Then disappeared into shadows at night.
You swore I was precious, the one you adored,
Yet broke every promise you willingly poured.
I carried your burdens, I softened your pain,
While you left me standing alone in the rain.
I watered a garden you wanted to keep,
But you buried the roots far too shallow and deep.
You lied with such ease that the truth lost its name,
Then somehow convinced me that I was to blame.
You watched as I shattered and still turned away,
Like love was a game you were willing to play.
I begged for the honesty you never gave,
Kept trying to rescue what you wouldn't save.
I stitched every wound that your choices had made,
While pieces of me slowly started to fade.
I knew you were trouble, but love made me blind,
It silenced the warnings that screamed in my mind.
I stayed through the heartbreak, the tears, and the doubt,
Until there was nothing worth fighting about.
Now look at the ashes of all that we built,
A kingdom of excuses, deception, and guilt.
The future you promised lies cold in the dust,
Destroyed by your hunger and broken by lust.
And if you should read this, I want you to know,
You didn't just leave me—you taught me to grow.
You taught me that love cannot live on deceit,
And no amount of begging can make it complete.
I gave you my loyalty, honest and true,
The one thing I never received back from you.
So this is my goodbye, my final release,
I'm choosing myself and I'm choosing my peace.
You can keep all the memories stained with your lies,
The sleepless nights, the apologies, the alibis.
Because losing you hurts—but staying hurt more,
And I'm done being wounded in love's endless war.
I knew you were trouble.
Not because you arrived like a storm from above.
But because every promise you made sounded sweet—
And every promise you made ended beneath my feet.
