21 Arrows
Fear crept in the night you left,
A hollow hush, a silent theft.
Heartbreak cracked my fragile core,
The echo won’t stop anymore.
Abandonment like winter’s call,
You watched me break and let me fall.
Betrayal wears your voice so well,
A gentle tone that brought me hell.
Regret hangs heavy in the air,
For every truth I didn't dare.
Despair sits dripping in my chest,
A tired ache that will not rest.
Rage boils beneath my quiet skin,
You took the best and left the sin.
Shame speaks in a choking tone,
For needing you when I’m alone.
Grief is love that’s lost its way,
It still wakes up and begs to stay.
Hopelessness kills every light,
Even morning feels like night.
Confusion turns the mirror black,
I don’t know me since you turned back.
Emptiness is all I taste,
No hunger left, no time to waste.
Vulnerability made me trust,
Now even tenderness feels unjust.
Humiliation burns so deep,
I gave you secrets I can't keep.
Disgust reflects what love became,
A mess of lies behind your name.
Obsession loops inside my mind,
You're all I lose, and cannot find.
Rejection like a sharpened blade,
No word, no reason, no cascade.
Doubt rewrites our every kiss,
Were you ever mine in this?
Bitterness lines every smile,
I fake my peace and bleed a while.
Paranoia walks beside,
I fear love’s truth, I fear its lie.
Loss—the final weight I bear,
You’re gone, but everywhere.
