You asked for the story I never told
Unraveled my past like thread from a soul
Gentle hands or so I thought
Pulling pain from places I had long forgot

I gave you the map to my broken parts
Let you trace the bruises carved in my heart

You nodded soft like you understood
I mistook silence for something good

You wore concern like a tailored fit
Said all the right things every word knit

With careful care but hollow thread
You held my hand while I bled

Then one morning, like a trick of light,
you were gone no warning, no fight.
Blocked, deleted, erased so clean,
as if I were some passing dream.

No goodbye
No reason
Not even a lie

The lack of closure still haunts me to this day
The silence of words that I’ll never hear you say
The quiet that lingered for months when you walked away

The forever not knowing of why you chose not to stay
