The Ghost You Left Behind

Poem

You walked away, and the world kept turning, but mine cracked beneath my feet. You forgot me like an old song’s lyrics, while I still sing them on repeat.

I screamed your name into the silence, but the echoes never came back. You were gone before I even knew it, erased like footprints in the black.

You unstitched me thread by thread, until I unraveled in your hands. Then you let the wind take the pieces, never caring where they’d land.

I wasn’t asking for forever, just an ending that made sense. Something more than a hollow absence, more than this aching suspense.

But you left me mid-sentence, a story you refused to write. Now I haunt the spaces you abandoned, a ghost trapped in endless night.
