I watered us when I had no tears left.

I carried us when my legs were shaking.

I still chose you even when it felt like

you were already halfway out the door.

I’m not asking you to save me.

I just wanted someone

to stay and say,

“I see your scars,

and I’ll love you anyway.”

But if you leave

Please…

Leave gently.

Because I’m not just watching you walk away.

I’m watching the version of myself I built for you

crumble in slow motion.

I won’t lie

I don’t know the perfect words how to make you stay.

All I know is my chest hurts

like something’s missing from inside it.

Like you took the part of me that still believed

I'm being enough.

I didn’t ask for a fairytale,

just for someone to look at me and say,

“I’m not leaving.”

I tried.

God, I tried.

‘A day done’

As your last day on earth is done
May you flow away in peace.
