Fine Line, Harry Styles

we’ll be alright, you whispered

even as

our world was crumbling,

the flames threatening to engulf us

and you slipped away from me,

you said it so confidently, too,

leaving me with no choice but

to believe you,

because how could i not, until

i blinked and was left standing

alone

clinging to the lie i still believed

even as

you walked away, dragging your promises

behind you

[thingsnobodywillread]

Even the naked trees whisper of your absence (proclaim it) And the emptiness echoes through my own heart I am grounded in the imperfection my own undoing Unfolding and unfolding until I am exposed -  And raw.
