I remember December
you told me I looked
oh so sweet
and couldn’t let me go
your words, your we, your empty promises
the laughter, the plans, the times we shared
all borrowed, all fake
all erased with your cold hands

you returned it all
shirts, gifts, memories
like stones in plastic boxes
like reminders of what you never valued
mocking my loyalty, my heart, my trust

videos haunt me
smiles trapped in frames
laughter drowned in your silence
our bridge burned
your ashes laughing at me
but I am not mourning
I am rising

I gave everything
my energy, my faith, my time, my soul
and you?
you gave poison, fear, silence, ego
you made me nothing
but in your shadow
I found myself

I am sunlight through shattered glass
fire devouring dead forests
a hurricane with armor
a queen in the ruins of your lies

fuck you for stealing our moments
fuck you for thinking you could own my loyalty
fuck you for every betrayal, every cowardly act
I am mine
I am unstoppable
I am life
I am everything you can never touch

you are nothing but a lost soul
walking over others to feel whole
this time it was me
not that you care
but your games no longer bind me

I don’t miss you
I don’t long for what was never real
I don’t look back

I’m focused on me now
on what I learned
on how I grew
in the smoke you left behind
I rose from the chaos
stronger, sharper, unstoppable
I believe in myself
I became FIRE
and you…
you could’ve been anyone
but no one will ever be like me
