Things i never said

A sad, honest poem about unspoken words and the silence between two hearts.

I wanted to say I missed you
But I didn't.

I wanted to ask why you changed.
Why you made it so easy to let me go
But I stayed quiet.
Like always.

You laughed liked nothing was broken,
like my silence didn't sound like goodbye
i smiled back
but inside I was screaming.

I thought you'd see it
the way my eyes begged you to stay ,
the way my voice trembled
when I said "I'm fine"

But you didn't.
And maybe you never cared enough to.

Now these words just live here,
in the cracks of my chest,
in the hollow space you left behind.

I carry them everywhere.
They weigh more than I can hold ,
but less than you ever did.

And you'll never know.
because I never said them.
