Unfinished Goodbyes

Not All Goodbyes are Spoken

By PSYGENIUSPublished 11 months ago 1 min read
G..O..O..D..B.Y.E.S

1.

I thought love was forever,

but forever is just a word.

People say it so easily,

until they walk away.

2.

You used to be my hero.

Now you're just a ghost

in memories I didn't choose to keep.

3.

The door slammed,

but the echoes stayed.

I still hear them

in the quiet.

4.

I don't miss you,

but I do miss the version of me

Who still believed you'd stay.

5.

Love isn't about who promises,

it's about who stays

when it gets hard to keep them.

6.

Some people teach you love.

Some people teach how to live without it.

7.

I've been doing fine without you.

At least,

that's what I tell myself.
