For What

Chipped plates, dust on the floor
Photos missing from the drawer

You came in with a smile
Turned our names into sides
Told the truth with twisted ends
Split the roots, rewrote the lens

Took their trust, then moved the line
Cut the cord and called it fine
But hearts don't fade like ink on pages
Ours held firm through silent rages

"For what?"

You cracked the frame
Changed the locks
And shifted blame

"For what?"

You walked away
But the love you tried to burn still stays

Mom don’t ask, and Dad just stares
We don’t speak, but someone cares
You pulled the string, we felt the snap
But we sewed it back behind your back

Letters came, half-lies in folds
But we knew what silence holds
You left to build your own truth high
But even towers fall from lies

"For what?"

You cracked the frame
Changed the locks
And shifted blame

"For what?"

You walked away
But the love you tried to burn still stays

One day you’ll sit with all you spun
Count your wins and find not one
Empty hands and mirror eyes
With no one left to share the lies

"For what?"

You broke the peace
Played the game
And called it release

"For what?"

Not out of pride
But because the truth don’t run and hide

You walked out, torch in hand
But all you lit was your own land
