“You Promised. Then Pulled Away.” 🪶
You didn’t leave loud—just a little each day,
Withdrew your heart in a casual way.
No big goodbye, no slammed shut door—
Just less and less until there was no more.
You swore I was safe, that you’d always be near,
Then vanished the second things stopped being clear.
I asked for presence, you gave me delay,
Made me feel needy for wanting you to stay.
I held it together while falling apart,
Wrote your name on the edge of my heart.
But love that retreats when it’s asked to remain,
Is just dressed-up absence wearing your name.
You didn’t break me—you blurred who I was,
Made me question my worth for what it never was.
But I’ve pieced it back with truth, not illusion—
And you? You were just a beautiful confusion.
So I won’t chase closure—I already bled,
I’ll heal in the silence where your words once led.
And if you remember me, let it burn slow—
I was the calm you abandoned mid-glow.

💬 Drop a “🪶” if someone promised to stay, then disappeared by degrees.
If you felt the leaving before it was said.
