[Thirteen Years]
Thirteen years,and it still feels like I’m waking up in the middle of a stormthat hasn’t stopped raging.You stole so much more than a love I believed in,you stole a piece of me,a part that now only existsin memories I can’t touchand a heart I can’t repair. I was innocent then,believing in forever,believing in promises…

[almost]
We were fingertips brushing, a spark too soft to catch flame. Love spelled out in glances, but never in a name. You were a song half-written, melody stuck in my mind. A kiss I almost tasted, a fate never underlined. We stood on the edge of something, too afraid to fall. Now we’re ghosts in…

[the last time]
You didn’t just leave,you erased me.Like a name written in sandbefore the tide rushes in. One day, I was your always,the next, I was nothing.No warning, no slow unraveling,just silence where a heartbeat used to be. I replay the last time you said my name,trace the syllables with shaking hands.Did you already know then,that you’d…

[blueprints]
I’m still pissed that you took the future you promised me and left me holding the empty space, like I’m supposed to fill it with things I never even asked for. You told me over and over, “we’re in this together.” You said it like it was fact, like we were writing our story, page…

[Why]
Why is she the onewho wears the promises we made?The vows I stitched to the sleeves of my skin,all the futures I pressed into my palms,carefully,until he let them sliplike a breath caught too deep. I wanted the life she gets to call hers.I wanted the pieces he promisedbut never gave me.Instead, I stand in…

[unspoken truths]
I’ve held my breath for so long,waiting for answers that never came,words that choked on their own weight,drowned in the silence of what could have been. There were days when my heart screamedand no one heard.When my bones shook under the weight of trust,shattered by lies I didn’t see coming.And still, I kept walking,footsteps leaving…

[impossible futures]
I never stopped loving you.Not once did I have the choiceto let go of the futureyou promised,the one where you swore we’d be forever.You talked of marriage,of proposal plans,of us,a life together—words you planted deep in my chest,words that felt like truth,but they were hollow when you walked away. You told me time and time…

[ignorance is bliss]
They don’t carry the weight.How light the world feelswhen you turn your back on what’s broken,and let someone else pick up the shards. It’s so easy to forgetwhen you haven’t been the one crushedunder the weight of it.It’s so easy to ignorethe scars they left behindand call it nothing—nothing at all. He smiles,tells me nothing…

[if only]
I often wonder—Do I drift into your thoughtsAs often as you linger in mine?Do you find yourselfTracing the edges of the could’ve beens,The would’ve beens,The should’ve beens—If only truth had guided us? Do you ever wonderHow different life might feelIf you had chosen me? I can still picture it,Still feel it,Tangible, a quiet acheTucked beneath…
