Fractured Feelings
You said forever like a song,
but silence stitched the final verse.
I held the warmth, you wore it wrong—
now echoes answer something worse.
A smile broke mid-lip, mid-light,
like glass unsure of what it holds.
Your hands were near, then out of sight,
still etched in spaces going cold.
Half-heard truths and half-meant care
hung trembling on the windowpane.
What we don't say still fills the air—
a grief too delicate to name.
And here I sit, a scattered glow,
one part of me still reaching back,
one part convinced I’ll never know
if love was whole, or just a crack.
