You're Losing Me, Or Am I Losing Myself?

In the depths of heartbreak, amidst the wreckage of shattered dreams and broken promises, there comes a moment of clarity. A moment when the pain becomes too much to bear, and the facade we've meticulously constructed begins to crumble. It's in these moments of vulnerability that we come face to face with the harsh reality of our relationships, questioning if the love we once knew is slipping away.
"You say, 'I don't understand,' and I say, 'I know you don't,'" the words echo in my mind, a poignant reminder of the disconnect that has formed between us. We thought a cure would come through in time, but now I fear it won't. What was once a room filled with light and laughter now feels suffocatingly dark, a stark contrast to the love we once shared.
As I sit in the silence, grappling with indecision and uncertainty, I find myself torn between holding onto what we've built and letting it all go. The fatigue sets in, a weariness that seeps into my bones even as I try to rise like a phoenix from the ashes. But the wounds run deep, and I wonder if this time, they're too deep to heal.
Every morning, I find myself glaring at you with storms in my eyes, questioning how you can claim to love someone you can't see is dying inside. I sent you signals, I bit my nails down to the quick, but still, you couldn't admit that we were sick. And now, as the air hangs heavy with loss and regret, I know that my pain is seen as nothing more than an imposition.
You're running down the hallway now, and you know what they all say: you don't know what you've got until it's gone. But even as I try to hold on, I can feel myself slipping away, my heart unable to find its pulse anymore.
How long can we be a sad song before we're too far gone to bring back to life? I gave you all my best me's, my endless empathy, but all I got in return was pain and disappointment. I fought in your army, I bled for your cause, but still, I wasn't enough.
And now, as I fade away into the shadows, I can't help but wonder: do something, say something, choose something. But in the end, it's clear that you're losing me, and there's nothing left to do but accept it.
So stop, because you're losing me. My heart won't start anymore for you. And as I stand on the precipice of a new beginning, I know that I'll find the strength to choose myself, even if you never did.
In the end, I'm fading, thinking: unless you're choosing me, you're losing me. And I won't be lost forever.

[Song Lyrics: "You're Losing Me" by Taylor Swift]
