Don’t be angry that I’m saying this about you.
I only have a moment,
so I’ll set a few sentences down.
There isn’t enough space in this life
for the two of us,
though I keep seeing your face
in every corner I turn.
I won’t call you my enemy today.
Even now, everything circles back to you.
You already know how this ends.
Thank you for the lesson.
I don’t know how to repay you –
maybe like this:
When no one is looking, I fade.
Silence is easier;
it hurts less than trying to hold
what was supposed to last.
And if you ever come back,
I won’t be here anymore.
I’ve been dancing with your shadow
inside these four walls.
Three times over,
I miss you
and I don’t miss you.
I am no longer the person you knew.
I move through this life half‑lost,
my heart breaking quietly.
I want it,
and then I don’t.
