all those subtle hints i've been grasping so tightly, the small looks, the seemingly meaningful captions, my songs you posted

must of have been subconsciously placed within me

all the words unsaid will be left to wither 

am i will be left with them

i have realized you actually left me

there is no running from the reality that i am alone anymore

because theres someone new

someone beautiful

someone who holds your attention

and i am not her

i am being left behind confused and half full 

knowing what used to fill me and not knowing where it went

while you whole-heartedly,  unapologetically continue on

as if i never happened 

as if it was over

as if you hadn't gone for groceries without clarifying you weren't coming home

this home we built that has given me happiness i wouldn't even think possible and comfort i've never known

and now will never

because on your way out you packed up all the things around our house that made her worth living in 

 leaving me in an empty house without any means of filling her back up

and i know now that you weren't leaving for groceries
