Come to me, piece by piece,
Bring the sparks like chandeliers in streams.
Sealed letters I failed to read,
Clues you gave that I didn’t heed.
Show me the smiles I couldn't perceive,
Speak your truths I chose not to believe.

Hand me your lanterns—I let them drown
In rivers where I stood to watch us down.
Cruel, this ache that memory delivers—
Each time I recall, I shiver.

You pinned me too high on the wall.
Now watch me—
Watch me fall.
Took me years to realise:
You were the hold that slowed my slide.

But I refused to come another mile.
Now you're someone else’s muse,
And I—
I can't undo,
Can’t choose to return,
For it would only bruise
The peace you’ve earned.

Still, I tremble,
For being a fool.
I’ll regret this
Till my last breath,
For I lost a blessing—
Too blind to see,
Too deaf to feel,
Too numb to believe
You loved me.
