The Quiet Break
No one saw
the moment it ended.
There was no fight,
no final words.
Just a small shift
inside my chest
when I realized
I had been holding us
together alone.
Growth
Growth rarely announces itself.
One day
you simply notice
the things that once
kept you awake at night
no longer
have your attention.
Unsaid
Some heartbreaks
never become stories.
They stay
in the quiet places
of your life
where only you
know
what almost happened.
Distance
Healing is strange.
You don’t feel stronger.
You just notice
that the person
who once had access
to every part of you
no longer knows
how to reach you.
After
I thought closure
would come with answers.
Instead
it arrived quietly
the day I realized
I no longer needed them.
