Surviving Heartbreak

Unanswered Questions

I don't think people understand

What it means to love so deeply.

It breaks you, reshapes you,

Haunts you like a ghost you can't shake.

I know that this is how love is meant to be,

But I still wonder—

How was it so easy for you to leave?

To walk away and never look back?

Was it harder to stay than to go,

Easier to break than to bend?

Did you not want to try?

To fight for us, for what we could be?

Was it worth it,

The way you left us scattered,

The way you left me shattered?

I don't hate you for leaving.

I know you thought it was best,

For both of us, a mercy of sorts.

But the questions remain, unanswered,

And I wonder if I'll ever find the truth.

Maybe what I'm trying to say

Is that I miss you—

That I hope you're okay,

And that despite everything,

A part of me will always love you,

Even if I never understand why.
