Not all break ups are messy. They don't necessarily equate to slamming doors and screamsย ย echoing off the walls and not all of them mean permanent goodbyes uttered with anger and disdain.
Some break ups are clean. Neatly folded and put away silently. A mutual understanding that that was the end. And sometimes no screams are heard , only deafening silence filling the room with thoughts of things longing to be said.
Quiet and solemn , memories are packed into bags and carried sadly out the door. Leaving its traces along with the sound of footsteps retreating
Then a stillness , a hollow stillness that tells you it is real and the hurt you feel within is a painful reminder that it is done. Wether it was messy or clean , mutual or one-sided . You cannot escape the harsh truth that whatever you had isย ย an object of the past , now meant for flashbacks at 3 am and words written on letters never meant to be sent.
