The weight of Goodbye

The weight of Goodbye 

It takes longer than the days you were here,

More nights than the ones we held dear,

Just to accept the emptiness inside,

To face the truth that love has died.

No morning texts to start my day,

No calls to chase the dark away,

No late-night talks, no soft goodbyes,

Just silence now where laughter lies.

Time moves on, but pain remains,

Draining my soul, fueling the flames,

Not just my heart, but all of me,

Lost within this aching sea.

I count the days, yet they count me too,

Piece by piece, fading from view,

For losing you wasn’t just a loss,

It was myself I left across.
