Waste of Time

I felt it drop All at once Like something in me Just went numb Same room Same air But something’s missing Everywhere Your trace still On my things In the quiet It still clings I walk through Like it’s fine But I’m not here Most the time No sound No fight Just me And the night You called me a waste of time Now it’s stuck in my mind Every second I gave Feels erased, undefined I don’t shout I don’t break I just sit Wide awake In the dark With that line “you were just a waste of time” Phone lights up I don’t care If it’s not you I don’t stare Some nights I don’t move Don’t even know What to do Time we had Feels unreal Like it wasn’t Even real But I know What I gave Now it’s buried In a phrase No tears No scene Just a space In between You called me a waste of time Now it’s stuck in my mind Every second I gave Feels erased, undefined I don’t shout I don’t break I just sit Wide awake In the dark With that line “you were just a waste of time” No closure No end Just a word On repeat All that time All that trust Reduced down To nothing You called me a waste of time But I know what was mine Every moment was real Even if you denied I don’t scream I don’t chase I just sit In this space But that line Still remains Echoing through my days Empty hands Empty night Still replaying What you said Santi Flores
