You don't need instructions if you want to disappear
You don't have to follow steps or read a recipe to get it right
All you need is a broken heart, the rest will come naturally
Loneliness will wrap a warm, suffocating blanket around you
Hurt will build a home in all the empty spaces they used to fill
Smiles will dance like ghosts in the movies playing in your mind
The world will keep spinning, but you won't want to go around anymore
Crowded rooms will feel deserted, because you will always be alone
Nothing will look the same after everything they gave you is gone
And when you see them again, holding hands, walking down the street
The last parts you had left will scatter like ashes to vanish in the wind
No one will see you, no one will understand why you can’t move on
Why the sun feels cold, why you don’t take calls or go out anymore
Hiding from people whose lives are still happy will become a game
You hate to play, because you already won the prize of knowing
The sky doesn't have to fall, the mountains don't have to crumble
The seas don't have to flood, the world doesn't have to end
For everything to fall apart, all it takes is a word, to lose the life
You thought you were going to have, all it takes is for love
To say goodbye, to make you disappear

A ballad for two. One listening, and the other soaking tissues. Poetry becomes a work of art in the hands of those who honor it. And you craft it beautifully. 🥰
Brilliant entry… so tragically sad and far too common an occurrence. I especially like: “ Smiles will dance like ghosts in the movies playing in your mind The world will keep spinning, but you won't want to go around anymore Crowded rooms will feel deserted, because you will always be alone.”
Heartfelt & incredibly-written! Very well done TIW! 💪🏾
Omgggg, this is literally what happened to me. This is how I disappeared. Gosh this was soooo relatable. Loved it so much!
Every line speaks loudly and is incredible, hitting every chord. Loved it!
Painfully relatable!! Love this so much Will!!
That first line opens so hard and the rest follows it perfectly. You've made a real masterpiece, one that aches in the chest. Amazing!
This is so heartbreaking 💔 Beautifully written though!
This is going to settle in my brain for a very long time.
