I believe in karma.

When he left me,
I could only think
how I deserved it.

How I had left someone else
just like that.

How they stayed there
as the world collapsed around them.

That's how it felt—
like I was frozen
while everyone else kept moving,
as if nothing had just ended.

I understood then
that karma was real.

That I couldn't move on
from the pain I had caused
without feeling it too.

But if that's true,
it means my debt has been paid.

And maybe now
I can start again.

Maybe now
I can love
without karma
hunting me down.
