They Left Like It Was Easy

They left Like it was nothing Like goodbye Was just another word No tremble No second glance Just silence Dragging its feet behind them I waited Like fools do Thinking maybe They’d come back For something they forgot But they didn’t And I became The thing They forgot I replayed it A hundred times The last moment The last sound The way Their shadow Didn’t even Look back Pain Doesn’t always scream Sometimes It just sits quietly At the edge of your bed They said nothing And somehow That silence Cut deeper Than words ever could I tried To hate them But instead I hated myself For not seeing it coming Was I too much Or not enough? Did they leave Or did I lose? Now, I carry questions Like bricks Stacked behind every smile I walk past places Where they used to laugh And hear echoes Of what never returned They left Like it was easy But I Still unpack the moment Like it holds something I missed
