Nothing Left but Bitter

Nothing Left but Bitter

I drank your words like rain in drought,
Too blind to see the lie laid out.
You carved your name into my trust,
Then watched it crumble into dust.

Now there’s nothing left but bitter,
No soft, no sweet, no glitter.
You took the heart, left the ache,
Fed me love that turned out fake.
Nothing left but bitter breath,
Cold goodbyes and quiet death.
You said forever, pulled the trigger—
Now there’s nothing,
Nothing left but bitter.

You wore love like a second skin,
But shed it quick when doubt crept in.
You smiled, I broke,
You stayed so still—
And I mistook that silence for will.

Now there’s nothing left but bitter,
Every word just cuts me thinner.
You walked out, I stayed behind,
Sweeping up what you left in my mind.
Nothing left but bitter skies,
No more stars, just hollow nights.
I begged for truth, you gave me slivers—
Now there’s nothing,
Nothing left but bitter.

Don’t say you’re sorry, don’t pretend—
This isn’t healing, this is end.
I’ll keep the scar, not your disguise—
I’ve learned to see through tender lies.

Nothing left but bitter tone,
A voice that shakes, a heart of stone.
You were sugar laced with ash,
Gone as quick as a match can flash.
Nothing left, but I’m still standing,
Cold but clear, no more demanding.
You were fire, now just a flicker—
And I’m done.
There’s nothing left but bitter.
