Your kindness, like a velvet knife,
Cut through the fabric of my life,
With every touch, my heart unspooled,
In your embrace, my soul was schooled.

You offered solace, soft and kind,
Yet left a chaos in my mind,
Your gentle words, a soothing lie,
A storm beneath a tranquil sky.

In your warmth, I found my place,
Yet lost myself in your embrace,
For every smile that you bestowed,
Became a burden, darkly sowed.

Your kindness tore me, piece by piece,
A love that offered no release,
Now every echo of your voice,
Reminds me of a shattered choice.
