I Will Survive You

I Will Survive You

You thought your leaving would destroy me

That I would break beneath the loss

That every breath without your presence

Would feel like carrying a cross

For a while you almost won

I drowned myself inside despair

Sat awake through endless mornings

Still believing you were there

I begged heaven for your return

Cried till my chest could barely rise

Loved somebody who walked away

Without remorse inside their eyes

Then slowly something changed in me

The mirror showed a different face

A woman tired of chasing ghosts

A soul deserving better space

I started healing piece by piece

Learning how to stand alone

Finding strength beneath the damage

Turning pain into my own

Now your memory fades quieter

Like smoke dissolving in the air

You no longer hold the power

To keep me trapped inside despair

One day someone will love me fully

Without the games that tore me down

Without the lies hidden beneath

Every promise and every sound

You were not the end of me

Only a lesson carved through scars

I will survive you completely

And still reach for brighter stars
