The weight you left behind

What happens to those emotions 
that suddenly lose their way?  
That was meant to be 
but disappeared abruptly 
by the decision taken by one!  
What happens to those feelings?  
Okay, the one who is not changed 
tries to get back, tries to resolve, 
shouts, cries, or writes poetry!  
But what do the others do who take this abrupt decision?
How can they just put an end suddenly
and start not to feel those emotions from the next day?
What do they do with those emotions?
Or while leaving they gifted their own emotional baggage to the one who left behind?
and that's why the one who stays 
feels heavier than before,
that they can't raise their head 
and spend months just doing nothing,
confining own in a room and lying in bed 
neither like a corpse, nor alive, rather half dead.
