Quiet Ending
With a heavy heart
I whisper your name
one last time.
You answer
with silence.
I feel myself fade
from your mind.
Tears trace my cheeks.
I look up
and see
you have already left.
I lower my chin
and stare
at the broken glass
near my side.
I reach for it—
hold the shard
in my hand.
Looking at it,
I feel at ease.
I close my eyes.
Slowly.
Warmth spreads.
The room tilts.
The floor rises.
My body goes numb.
Pain loosens its grip.
Breaths fall
into rhythm.
I stop fighting
for a love
that was never
really there.
My heart grows quiet.
I shed one last tear.
