The Weight I Bare Isn’t Mine. by MissT

---

Your lies, your deceit,
cast down at your feet.
Trust lies in ruins,
dreams collapse,
while muffled sobs
are swallowed by the blackened gaps.

When you believe in them
more than you believe in yourself,
they take that faith,
grind it to dust,
and leave your soul upon the shelf.

Your loyalty, your care, your heart
torn like sails,
ripped apart.

Is the soul of truth out there?
Someone who loves,
someone who cares?
Who mirrors back the fire I give,
who dares to dream,
who dares to live.

Who builds on trust, on loyalty,
who braves the storm
and stands by me.
No ghosts to haunt, no shadows stay,
but love that will not rot away.

They say my size defines my worth,
but the weight I bear
is not my body
it is your absence of care.

I tried to listen, to heal, to stay,
but lies devoured
the light of day.
Foundations cracked on words like stone,
venom dripped,
and left you lone.

Yet still
I rise,
like cliffs against the sea,
I turn away,
and with quiet strength
I set you free.
