The Fool Who Knew

I logged in just to let it go

Thought I'd be kind, no need to show

The part you claimed, I'd let it free

But someone beat me silently

Said you didn't know a thing

But silence leaves its own kind of sting

You called it fog, said let it slide

But I've seen truth you can't hide

You think I'm blind, but I just chose

To keep my calm, to not expose

You played your hand and thought I'd fold

But I've been watching in the cold

You moved the pieces, pulled the thread

And I stayed quiet, just watched instead

I'm not the fool you think you knew-

I'm the fool who always knew

You brought her in, then shut the door

Took what mattered, like it's a war

You smiled and said to just let go

But some things stay, even when they don't show

You said don't fixate, let it rest

But lies don't settle in my chest

I won't accuse, I won't confront

But I'll remember what you've done

You think I'm blind, that I don't see

But silence holds more clarity

You think I'm soft, that I don't fight

But I just choose the quieter light

You moved the pieces, played it clean

But I can read between the screens

I'm not the fool you think you knew-

I'm the fool who always knew

It's not about revenge or rage

It's the way you act offstage

The checkbooks, stamps, the quiet delete

All happened while you called retreat

I don't need fire to prove I see

I don't need proof to know it's me

You built your story, brick by brick

But I know which part you chose to kick

I won't expose. I won't pursue.

I'm just the fool...

who always knew.
