[  ] We didn’t date, [  ] Yet you tell people we did. [  ] We hardly even talked, [  ] yet you act like we spent our lives together [  ] As if i left without a word [  ] Except there were words [  ] You just didn’t listen. [  ] Now you ask them why I left, [  ] like there was something to leave to begin with. [  ] Like I held your hand, whispered promises, [  ] let you in [  ] when all I did was exist near you. [  ] You get your friends to interrogate me, [  ] like I owe them answers. [  ] Like I owe you anything at all. [  ] They ask what happened, [  ] why I “broke your heart,” [  ] but I didn’t realize you had given it away to begin with. [  ] You follow me through halls, [  ] a shadow I never asked for. [  ] Standing just close enough to remind me [  ] that you don’t know how to let go. [  ] That you can’t take silence as an answer. [  ] And when I talk to my friends, [  ] there you are, lingering, [  ] Like a shadow creeping into spaces where you were never meant to be. [  ]  A ghost desperate to haunt something that was never yours. [  ] It’s almost funny, [  ] how someone I barely knew [  ] can’t seem to untangle themselves from me. [  ] How someone I never loved [  ] Plays the victim in a story that was never finished to begin with.
