They touched your world like a whispered lie-soft, sweet, and slow-burning.
You mistook their gaze for something holy,
called their attention *love*,
called their silence *depth*,
called your unraveling *fate*.
You handed over your soul in trembling offerings-
bare hands, open heart,
begging them to see you.
And they did...
but only the parts they could use.
They wore affection like a costume,
played kindness like a well-rehearsed role,
and you-
you applauded with tears in your eyes,
not knowing the curtain would fall
with you still on stage, bleeding.
You loved them with a hunger that made you blind.
And they left you with nothing but echoes,
ghosts in your ribs,
and hands that still reach out in your sleep.
Now, the silence is louder than any goodbye.
You are shards.
You are ruin.
You are the aftermath of your own hope.
And within you-
a tiny heartbeat,
the last piece they forgot to take.
You speak to the emptiness,
hold your stomach in the dark,
and wonder how something so small
can feel heavier than the absence they left behind.
You are carrying what they gave you without care,
without promise,
without staying.
A love that was never real
left you with a life that is.
Still...
your heart beats for their name
like it hasn't yet learned
they were never coming back.
