All Clay feels at first is loved.
He thinks to himself, how could he ever find someone new?
Clay feels that this girl is the one, and nothing will change that.
But he has sadly mistaken love over patience…
Then before he knew it, it was like suffering a death from a thousand papercuts.
Things begin to shift… conversations become shorter, less meaningful, emotionally distant, and you can’t quite decipher.
It’s like a gradual cooling Clay and this girl are going through.
But it’s a hollow echo of what it once was, she assures him that she still cares, but the spark is not there anymore, the spark that ignites the flame to love…
The weight of his emotional absence settles upon him, crushing him under the burden of unanswered questions and unspoken anxieties.
The worst part? There is no clear break-up, the relationship simply… withers. It dies a slow, quiet death, leaving him stranded in the wasteland of unanswered questions, agonizing him over what he did wrong, while she moves on seemingly unaffected.
With the loss of something he never truly lost, but it vanished like mist in the morning sun.
The lingering uncertainty of whether it was ever real at all… That’s the worst heartbreak.
That truly destroys him, leaving him questioning life and wondering if he ever truly mattered to her or anyone.
For anyone who truly, genuinely understands what that’s like. When the intimacy fades…
____________________
Healing takes time… remember that this experience, though painful, can lead to growth and deeper understanding of yourself and what you deserve in a relationship. This type of heartbreak can shake your beliefs about love and relationships. Take time to redefine what love means to you. Once the initial emotional pain subsides, take some time to reflect on the relationship. What went wrong? What were the warning signs you missed? Usually this type of heartbreak often leaves you questioning your self worth and value, so re-establish your sense of self by focusing on your own interests, and remember… you are never alone when it comes to this.
This third-person view poem goes over what it\'s like to be going through a silent breakup or a breakup at all, and at the end of the poem, it explains what usually happens when a breakup happens, how you deal with it, and knowing that you are not alone when it comes to breakups. My goal for this poem is to help and relate to someone who is or has been going through a breakup. I hope you enjoy this poem.
