[Beginning] I counted the days until counting became another way to lose you. [Confession] You left without hatred. Without blame. Just enough kindness to make forgetting impossible. [Fall] Some wounds bleed. Mine learned how to breathe. They wake before I do, follow me through every room, sleep beside me every night. [Rupture] Take your name back. Take your smile back. Take every promise that still lives inside my ribs. Leave me empty. Anything but this. [Stillness] I open every door expecting absence. Absence never disappoints. [Spiral] I stopped asking whether you loved me. Now I ask whether I ever existed outside your eyes. The answer changes every morning. [Collapse] Love didn't kill me. It simply refused to let me die. So I remain, dragging tomorrow behind me like a body no one came to claim. [Last Words] If grief has a purpose, let it finish. If love has mercy, let it forget my name.
