This poignant monologue bares the soul of someone left in the wreckage of a profoundly one-sided relationship. They recount how they absorbed their lover's brokenness, becoming an unwitting "stepping stone" to their healing, only to be discarded when a brighter future, and a new partner, emerged. It's a raw exploration of unrequited devotion, the searing pain of being a forgotten chapter, and the bitter realization of sacrificing oneself merely to facilitate another's journey to happiness.
