[half-a-heart]

I realized I was present in something you had already outgrown.

[half-a-heart]

The decision lived in you long before you told me.

[half-a-heart]

You had already stepped outside of what I was still living in.

[half-a-heart]

Nothing was unclear. That was the worst part.

[half-a-heart]

I was committed to someone who was undecided.

[half-a-heart]

We ended the moment I started asking for less.

[half-a-heart]

You left without noise, and that was the loudest part.

[half-a-heart]

Love didn’t shatter. It thinned, until I could see through it.

[half-a-heart]

The body endures what the mind can not name.

[half-a-heart]

I was loyal to a version of you that never existed.

[half-a-heart]

Losing you didn’t hurt as much as losing who I was when I loved you.

[half-a-heart]

I kept hoping time would create what effort never did.

[half-a-heart]

The ending only exposed how empty the beginning was.

[half-a-heart]

They called me sensitive so they wouldn’t have to call themselves cruel.

[half-a-heart]

[half-a-heart]

Silence feels peaceful when chaos is all you’ve known.

[half-a-heart]

Feeling lonely with someone hurts more than being alone.
