A place where my soul once whispered home was where your presence used to feel. But now… as the days run in circles, each time I speak to your gaze that’s lost the light I used to see, each time I witness your smile that feels more like a chore you try to fulfill— your voice still drums close to my ear, yet it feels so far… distance was never the reason. Like a loop you never asked to be part of, these cracks keep splitting deeper. Which part of this home didn’t feel safe enough for you? What made you turn away from me every chance you had? Why did your humor fade into grey silence? You taught me to step out into the rain and get drenched with you. But now it’s just me, standing here, shivering under every drop, watching you sit so far away as if the path between us never existed. Why did you stop walking this lane with me? Why are you so quiet? Why won’t you tell me anything? What did I do to put you here… or what did you choose to put me here? How do I hold your hand again? How do I speak to you like I used to? I can’t find the person I used to see. I can’t find someone like you either… because the truth is— it’s not even in you anymore.

The Person I Can’t Find Anymore
A place where my soul once whispered home was where your presence used to feel. But now… as the days run in circles, each time I speak to your gaze that’s lost the light I used to see, each time I witness your smile that feels more like a chore you try to fulfill— your voice still drums close to my ear, yet it feels so far… distance was never the reason. Like a loop you never asked to be part of, these cracks keep splitting deeper. Which part of this home didn’t feel safe enough for you? What made you turn away from me every chance you had? Why did your humor fade into grey silence? You taught me to step out into the rain and get drenched with you. But now it’s just me, standing here, shivering under every drop, watching you sit so far away as if the path between us never existed. Why did you stop walking this lane with me? Why are you so quiet? Why won’t you tell me anything? What did I do to put you here… or what did you choose to put me here? How do I hold your hand again? How do I speak to you like I used to?
