A raw confrontation with betrayal and unanswered questions,

Did You Cheat

Did you cheat on me—
was it because you fell out of love,
or because I wasn’t enough?
Was it because you thought you could get away with it,
or because the fire between us faded too fast?

Was it me you blamed,
or was it the reflection in your own chest
you couldn’t face?
Did you crave the thrill more than the heart you held in your hands?

I lay awake replaying the moments,
the whispers, the silences,
trying to find the reason,
but all I feel is the echo of betrayal
burning in my ribs.

And still—
I am here, bruised, broken, alive,
while you carry the shadow of what you destroyed.

I don’t need answers.
I need the truth,
the pulse of honesty,
the courage you never had.
