He left-
quietly,
like the last light slipping out of a dying room.
But the emptiness he left behind
learned how to breathe in my shape.
It learned my name.
It stayed.
Since then,
I wander through nights
that don't end,
searching for him in places
where he only exists as echoes-
soft, unfinished,
too familiar to forget,
too gone to hold.
I tell myself I'm living,
but really,
I'm just surviving on memories
that don't know he's not coming back.
Every night,
I recreate him
out of longing-
a silhouette of warmth,
a whisper of comfort,
a dream that pretends to be real
so my heart doesn't collapse
under the weight of truth.
This book is my confession-
that I am still in love
with a ghost,
with a moment,
with a past that refuses
to release me.
These poems are not about healing-
they are about staying,
even when staying ruins you.
Welcome to the place I cannot leave,
the illusion I rebuilt
just to feel less alone.
Welcome
to the home made of heartbreak.
