You Stayed / I Broke

I stayed in the house we built,
Empty rooms and hollow guilt.
I breathe your name through every door,
But you don’t answer anymore.

I broke the night I slipped away,
No time for words, no chance to stay.
I felt your cry before the end —
The one goodbye I couldn’t send.

I wore your coat to feel you near.
I screamed in silence you can’t hear.
They said move on — I just replay.
I didn’t choose to walk away.

You stayed…
I broke.
You burn…
I smoke.
You’re drowning here in everything we were,
While I dissolve into the blur.
We’re stuck in two sides of the same goodbye —
You live the pain,
I died inside.

I watch you from the quiet side,
Your tears still falling where I lied.
I whisper through the candle’s flame,
But all you feel is loss and shame.

They call it life, I call it sleep.
I fake a laugh and fall too deep.
You’re everywhere and never near,
I carry love and disappear.

I broke…
I stayed…
I fade…
You prayed…
I’m still…
So gone…

You stayed…
I broke.
You shout…
I choke.
You live in shadows made of me,
I float in songs you’ll never see.
We’re stuck between the “what was” and “why” —
You live the loss…
And I
Just
Die.
