The One Who Wouldn’t

The One Who Wouldn’t

You wore your smile like a crown of gold

Promised me warmth when the nights grew cold

You said, “I’d never be the one to break you”

But look at the cracks you left me to hold

I gave you faith like a sacred hymn

Built my heart with your name carved in

You were the one I swore would stay

But even angels can fall away

It wasn’t supposed to be you

The one who cut me through

The deepest wound is not the blade

It’s the trust you threw away

You hurt me in the place

Where I thought I was safe

It’s not the fall, it’s the lie

From the one I let inside

You were the one I believed never could

But you did what I thought you wouldn’t…

You became the pain I never should’ve known

I held your hands like sacred vows

Now they haunt me, they betray me now

I wasn’t afraid of the world outside

But I never saw the storm in your eyes

I told myself, “They’d never harm”

While I bled from their quiet charm

It’s not the enemies that sting

But the ones we crown as kings

How could it be you…

The only one I knew

The deepest wound is not the blade

It’s the love you let decay

You hurt me in the space

Where I kept my softest grace

It’s not the scream, it’s the hush

Of a silence I once could trust

You were the one I believed never could

But you did what I thought you wouldn’t…

I gave you all my light

You gave me endless night

I called you shelter, called you friend

Now you’re the ache that never ends

The deepest wound is not the flame

It’s the whisper of your name

You hurt me where I shined

Now I can't rewind

It’s not the loss, it’s the truth

Of who I was with you

You were the one I believed never could

But you did what I thought you wouldn’t…

You broke me, like no stranger ever could

The one I swore…

Would never hurt me more…

Became the scar I wear…

Forevermore…
