If I had one last chance to speak,
I'd ask why lies dripped from your lips so sweet.
Those nights I wept, lost in memories,
Why did you deceive, could you explain me?
I found closure the day I begged,
Knees bent, heart shattered, eyes that pled.
Your icy stare, a chilling reply,
'I couldn't care less' – words that made me die.
I don't hate you; you're not my villain,
Just a discordant note, a painful refrain.
Disgust, yes, for every lie you spun,
Using me, laughing as my heart was undone.
Perhaps I saw a lost child in you,
Unloved and broken, but that's no excuse.
You don't deserve love, only regret,
For the pain you sowed, and the heart you beset.
No closure needed; I know your truth,
A coward hiding behind rash texts and youth.
Blocking me was wise; it saved me pain,
Keeping your toxic presence from my life's terrain.
May karma find you, may heartache weigh,
Measure for measure, for every tear I've paid.
If I had one last talk, I'd ask why,
Lies and sweet nothings, goodbye.
