The Damage I Caused

I left cracks in your heart that I never repaired,

Said I loved you out loud but my actions weren’t there.

I was fighting my demons, let them speak in my name,

Now you carry the weight of my guilt and my pain.

I took your trust and treated it careless,

Played with your feelings, called it being fearless.

You were giving your all, I was half in, half gone,

Now I see what I did when the love is withdrawn.

Every memory hits like a late-night curse,

I was scared of healing, so I made it worse.

You cried in silence while I looked away,

I chose my pride every time you begged me to stay.

Now I’m counting regrets instead of days,

Living with echoes of the hurt I made.

I don’t blame you for leaving, I know I’m the cause,

This lonely truth is the damage I caused.

I broke something real and I can’t undo the scars.

The damage I caused still follows me hard.
