✏️ when hello becomes goodbye, you are left gaping...

✏️
when hello becomes goodbye,
you are left gaping breathlessly
at the endless possibilities
and empty promises,
paralyzed by the choices
you could have, should have, made.

when conversations echo into silence,
you are left grasping desperately
at imaginary straws to save yourself
from drowning in memories,
dragged down by the weight
of anger, sadness, and neglect.

when friendship fades into forgetting,
you are left growing hopelessly attached,
more than ever, to an illusion
of a tomorrow that will never be,
saddened by the sound of your heart
breaking into a thousand tiny pieces.
