In the labyrinth of my heart, I chose you without seeking happiness or filling a void

In the labyrinth of my heart, I chose you without seeking happiness or filling a void, There was no plan in this slipping into the snares of love. I truly fell in love with you because You showed me how to cherish and see love catch the echo. I found you beloved, when even you didn't believe in your own light, I fell in love with genuine laughter and with eyes that, without words, said everything. But the moment you started to put everything before "us," You tore my heart, I felt it come out and be trampled. You stole the definition of what we shared, Our wall of glass easily gave way, turning into thorns that pierce my soul, and you hold the hammer. You chose this path of destruction, dragging us with you into the abyss, Even when I begged you to reconsider, even when I screamed for you to stop. When something breaks, it doesn't fall all at once. It's a slow, agonizing descent, each tiny shard stabbing the chest repeatedly. And maybe that's why you feel the collapse before it happens, For you were the sculptor, and my heart—your work, endlessly shattered.
