Just 1

i didn’t need  

a thousand betrayals  

just one  

one moment  

where your actions  

didn’t match your words  

one shift  

in energy  

that my spirit caught  

before my mind did  

and i tried  

i tried to excuse it  

rename it  

soften it  

called it a mistake  

called it a phase  

called it anything  

but what it was  

but truth?  

truth doesn’t beg  

to be believed  

it shows itself  

once  

and waits  

to see  

if you respect it  

i don’t need  

to drown in oceans  

to know  

it’s not meant for me  

i tasted it  

and that was enough  

so i left  

not bitter  

not loud  

not seeking revenge  

just clear  

because once i see  

what you’re capable of  

i move accordingly  

and i don’t look back
