The Unspoken Goodbyes

When two stubborn souls fall in love and break up, the damage cannot be mended easily...

Living in a generation where it is considered weak for the men to reach out first, and so-called desperate for the women to reach out, we end up going into our own dark holes for a while, ultimately living out a lie until something so-called better comes along...

What a shame...

So easily forgetting the good times, which you already experienced and once had with one another...

All those words of affirmation coupled with physical touch and quality time...

For what...

For our bullshit egos to break us apart bit by bit...

Life's so goddamn short. We can be gone in an instant...

Yet our egos and fucked-up delusional norms keep us broken and detached...

You want to scream, you want to cry, you want to win and succeed...

The reality is, you want to do all these things to forget what once was...

But you never will.

About the Creator

Armand Slayer

Since fifteen, writing has been my quiet companion. Words, to me, preserve fleeting moments, question certainty, and reveal what often goes unspoken. Every sentence is a journey into memory, emotion, and what it means to be human.
