Another night spent in shadows and sighs

Another night spent in shadows and sighs,

as he unravels, pulling me close,

my heart whispers truths, wrapped in lies,

though I fought to patch every tear, every dose.

The door stood ajar, light peeked through the crack,

illuminating shadows that tangled our minds,

I finally understood—no need to turn back,

his battles are his, as hope unwinds.

I stepped from the weight, just a breath to be free,

letting loose the ties that had bound my own heart,

it was time to embrace my own story, to see,

as his pain fades, we drifted apart.
