“Your Silence Finished the Job”
You said you wouldn’t run this time.
Like a ghost with perfect timing.
Like someone who only knows how to love
And fucking stupid me believed you.
You came back talking about friendship
like it was some sacred thing.
Like you couldn’t imagine a life
into something easier for you to hold.
Didn’t ask too many questions.
Didn’t ask why your replies got colder.
Why silence started swallowing whole days.
Why every conversation felt like I was begging
for scraps of your attention.
so you wouldn’t feel trapped.
ever mean a damn thing to you?
Or was I just convenient?
whenever loneliness started chewing through your walls?
You said you wanted friendship.
But what you really wanted
was someone still in love with you enough
You knew when to disappear.
I was already bleeding out emotionally,
and you cut the last thread
without even looking back.
You watched me fall apart in real time.
You heard the panic in my voice.
Saw me reaching for you with shaking hands.
just to be fucking heard.
And you blamed silence on being “busy.”
What a neat little coffin
I kept screaming through locked doors
while you carefully muted the sound.
You said you wouldn’t leave.
But that’s the thing about you, isn’t it?
You leave long before your body goes.
First the warmth disappears.
I’m standing in the ruins
of something I was stupid enough
There’s nothing left of you here now.
Just the aftertaste of abandonment
and the unbearable realization
you were already halfway gone.
