Walked away

It’s like you didn’t even flinch

When you walked away—

Like I was just another shadow

That faded when the light changed.

It’s like I was nothing but a placeholder,

A warmth to keep you company

Until something shinier

Walked through the door.

It’s like you thought it was nothing,

Like I wouldn’t bleed inside

When you tossed me aside

For someone you met two hours ago.

It’s like you never even thought—

Like betrayal is just a word to you,

But I see red, and it won’t fade.

It’s like you assumed I’d forget,

That I wouldn’t lie awake,

Replaying every moment,

Searching for a reason—

But there is none.

You thought it would be easy

To leave me behind,

But now I’ve disappeared first.

And when you realize

They’re not enough,

I won’t be waiting.
