Our end did not come unannounced
Our end did not come unannounced,
I had a premonition when you started to slip away
Into the quiet distances, choking off any possible growth.
Ours had been a game, a waltz where missteps spoke their part,
My great sorrow was the pain, not letting me lose you, though you were gone.
In your eyes, I saw the despair speaking bluntly to your face,
Your voice always telling me how much space you desired,
I knew that leaving was your final act,
But the chaos within me would not let me accept the truth
That all our reconciliations, after fierce fights, were but a mere abduction.
And yet I realized you were only a habit,
Painful to say, but so true and raw,
My hopes clashed with the foolish thought
That someone like you could ever be reclaimed.
But the more I entangled myself in the web of empty promises,
The deeper I fell into the trap, lost in these wandering rhythms.
Your hollow promises, "I can't live without you,"
And nights spent crying like a child rendered me immovable,
No, they were no longer worth even an hour of endless time.
Now silence wraps around me like a final, secure blanket,
Freed from seeing you in the dawns that seek and chase me.
And like a bird from its cage, I fly towards unknown skies,
Leaving behind the smoke of a love that took everything from me but also taught me
That some paths are not meant to be followed, and some destinies – not to be bound.
