No Witness
There are things I never say
and things I never share.
Not because they matter less
just harder left exposed.
People know selected parts
and fill the rest themselves.
They build a version of you
that feels easier to hold.
No one sees the smaller fights
that happen every day.
The thoughts that keep returning
when everything is still.
You carry old decisions
and wonder who you were.
You question all the places
where things turned out this way.
Some regrets stay quiet
and never leave a mark.
Yet somehow they stay closer
than brighter memories.
You learn to move beside them
instead of making peace.
Not every wound will heal
the way people describe.
There are nights for remembering
and nights for letting go.
Sometimes they look alike
until the morning comes.
I keep some things unspoken
and leave them where they rest.
Not hidden out of shame
just no longer asking.
