Half day valentine

It’s Valentine’s Day and I’m wrapped in your lies, You give me three hours, then you vanish from sight, Say you love me in whispers, then go toast someone else at night, I’m the truth in the shadows, they’re the life in the light. Yeah — you swear that you’re mine when you’re here in my bed, But you dine somewhere else while my voice fills your head, You split love in halves like you’re scared to commit — I don’t want half a heart, I deserve all of it. ⸻ VERSE 1 Fourteen to seventeen, that’s the time that was mine, Three-hour Valentine like a loan with a deadline, You made it feel warm, like the world disappeared, Then you left for a dinner where I’m never considered. Probably candles, nice table, polite little smile, While I’m stuck with the silence stretching miles after miles, You switch lives so smooth it’s disturbing to see, From “I love you forever” to pretending not me. You wake up beside them, fall asleep in their space, But with me you erase every trace of that place, Like denial’s a drug and you’re high on the thrill, Till the engine starts up and you drive down that ⸻ VERSE 2 You wanted commitment, I was fine with the flame, But I said yes to the label just to keep you the same, Now I’m stuck in a “relationship” hidden from view, That’s not love — that’s a secret with a better excuse. We don’t walk in the daylight, never sit where we’re seen, Always locked in my place like we’re part of a scheme, I hang pictures of us like the walls need proof, But the frames hold more truth than the words from your mouth. This apartment’s got pieces of you everywhere, Every shelf, every corner, every breath in the air, So it feels like it’s ours till the moment you leave, Then it’s just me again with what I tried to believe. ⸻ BRIDGE (slow, cold) Love doesn’t hide and love doesn’t split, Love doesn’t schedule when it’s allowed to exist, Love don’t clock out to go live a second life, Love don’t survive when it’s built on disguise. ⸻ FINAL VERSE (most brutal) Your history’s heavy, yeah the years run deep, But comfort ain’t love — it’s just habits you keep, And one day that routine’s gonna crack at the seams, And the truth’s gonna spill from the lies that you lean on. And maybe you’ll turn back, maybe search for my face, When the safe little world you protect gets replaced, But I won’t be waiting, I won’t soften the fall, I gave you my everything — you gave me a wall. So choose — not tomorrow, not “sometime,” not soon, Either stand in the daylight or get out of my room, ‘Cause I’d rather be lonely than divided in two, I don’t want half a love — I deserve something true
