I'm just crumbs on your empty plate,
A trail you made, then left to fate,
While I gathered pieces, held them tight,
You watched me break beneath your sight.

I kept the fragments, stitched the seams,
Wove your chaos into dreams,
But still, I fell from every hand-
Only breadcrumbs in your sand.

I fed the fire, I saved the glow,
Built the love you didn't know,
Yet here I lie, a fleeting trace,
Unseen, unwanted, lost in space.
