I used to find answers
in your eyes.
Now, I only find
the questions
I never wanted to ask.
What once felt like
a place of certainty,
now blurs every line
I’ve drawn to protect myself.
I look at you
and suddenly—
my strength falters,
my mind spins,
and the peace
I fought so hard to build
crumbles quietly.
You used to
be my anchor.
Now, that same anchor
chains me—
holding me hostage
from a love I thought
was right for me.
