We were supposed to meet this week, plans changed, I thought you'd speak. I tried to push, tried to forget, but your shadow won't leave yet. I told you once, I told you twice, I can't take another shot, I begged for life. I leaned on you, I trusted you, I cared and prayed but you vanished, unprepared. My best friend, how selfish and cruel, to leave behind what we built as fuel. After I left, after I tried, you chose the dark while I survived. I rage the ghost, you left behind, screaming echoes trapped in my mind. I love you, needed you, thought you'd stay, but you burned the bridge and walked away. I hate your choice, I hate your face, I hate that I loved you the most in this place. I replay the plans, the week we'd spend, the laughs, the talks, that I can't mend. I feel the guilt, the crushing weight, "what if" screaming, it's not my fate I can't forget, I can't release Your leaving stole my fragile peace. I moved through life with and empty space, remembering your voice, your face. And though I hurt, and though I blame I'll never stop remembering your name.

After You Left
We were supposed to meet this week, plans changed, I thought you'd speak. I tried to push, tried to forget, but your shadow won't leave yet. I told you once, I told you twice, I can't take another shot, I begged for life. I leaned on you, I trusted you, I cared and prayed but you vanished, unprepared. My best friend, how selfish and cruel, to leave behind what we built as fuel. After I left, after I tried, you chose the dark while I survived. I rage the ghost, you left behind, screaming echoes trapped in my mind. I love you, needed you, thought you'd stay, but you burned the bridge and walked away. I hate your choice, I hate your face, I hate that I loved you the most in this place. I replay the plans, the week we'd spend, the laughs, the talks, that I can't mend. I feel the guilt, the crushing weight, "what if" screaming, it's not my fate I can't forget, I can't release Your leaving stole my fragile peace. I moved through life with and empty space, remembering your voice, your face. And though I hurt, and though I blame I'll never stop remembering your name.
