You asked me to stay,
but I don't care about you anymore
cause you burned our pages,
you mistook diamonds for fake crystals,
you let me fall into the void for ages.
I looked for you in the dark
without any sign of help,
you said it's everyone for themselves
and now that I'm going ahead
you want to hold back my last step.

Extremely relatable - some people only value you when you're halfway out the door, but we need to leave anyway.
MMMM when they finally come around and you've had enough. Very well done
Omgggg omgggg omgggg this was so relatable because it happened to me! I'm so sorry that it happened to you as well 🥺 Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
I love how the image you selected works with the poem, the booted foot splashing in the water a deliberate choice, just like the decision to leave. I especially loved the potency of these lines: but I don't care about you anymore cause you burned our pages and you said it's everyone for themselves and now that I'm going ahead you want to hold back my last step Your poem seems simple on the surface, but a deep lake on a calm day can be deceptive as well. This poem contains vast deeps. It's almost too hard for some to distinguish between 'us' and 'me,' and that's their loss.
