I used to believe that I left you,
peering through mists of pain and time;
yet truth, this morning, rises:
I was never enough.
denial's haze fades;
how could I stay,
when you weren't
even
there?

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Thank you so much for reading this nonet! This piece is part of a duo, each one reflecting a sort of opposite side/perspective on a relationship breaking up. I am including the link to the sister-piece here. I hope you enjoy! This prompt is certainly heavy, but I think has drawn out a lot of beautiful honesty and insight in this creative community. Cheers, friends. :)
