I gave you all I had, and then some more,

Even pieces of myself I couldn’t afford.

With trembling hands, I poured my soul,

Shared my time, made myself whole.

But you looked right through, like it was air,

Like love’s a fire that lights itself there.

I bled for us, but you never knew,

How much it hurt to give everything to you.

Oh, I tried so hard to make you see,

The weight of what you meant to me.

But silence answers when I call,

And now I’ve got no more to give at all.

So I’ll offer you my quiet, my leaving tonight,

My absence will be the last thing I write.

It won’t touch you, I know, but that’s okay,

‘Cause this silence is mine—it’s here to stay.

I held your world within my arms,

Kept you safe from every storm.

Gave affection deeper than the sea,

Built a home inside of me.

But you saw it as a backdrop scene,

A given truth, not something between.

Now I’m standing bare where we once stood,

Learning how to carry only what I should.

Oh, I prayed you’d feel the flame ignite,

That you’d see the stars I kept alight.

But the echoes fade, and I’m breaking free,

This heart can’t hold what wasn’t meant to be.

So I’ll offer you my quiet, my leaving tonight,

My absence will be the last thing I write.

It won’t touch you, I know, but that’s okay,

‘Cause this silence is mine—it’s here to stay.

Maybe love’s a lesson, maybe pain’s a guide,

Teaching me to cherish the parts I hide.

No more giving ‘til I lose control,

This empty vessel needs to fill its soul.

So I’ll leave you with my quiet, my leaving behind,

My shadow fades, I’m stepping out of line.

If it doesn’t move you, that’s fine by me,

This silence isn’t yours—it sets me free.
