Emotions swirl, leaving me hollow,
Conflicting sentiments in a tumultuous flow.
Should I rejoice in newfound freedom's glow,
Or mourn the hurt that I bestow?
Tears linger on the brink, unsure to shed,
As I brace for the impact of words unsaid.
A profound emptiness, as if led
Into the void, where emotions tread.
Contemplating reactions, I feel the weight,
Of decisions made, of a chapter's fate.
A blank stare at the screen, as I await
The numbness that accompanies such a state.
Unmet expectations, discomfort's grasp,
The real reasons behind our parting gasp.
Repeatedly disregarded, our bond did rasp,
As check-ins replaced outdoor dates, alas.
Fear and embarrassment, within his house,
Reached a breaking point, too much to douse.
Despite assurances, topics would espouse,
They persisted, revealing a lack of nous.
Cancelled plans, desires astray,
Added strain to our once bright day.
As I grapple with being seen as the "bad woman," I say,
Navigating love's labyrinth, in disarray.
In consideration of his feelings, I found,
A questioning of boundaries, love's ground.
A challenging journey, in the aftermath's sound,
Echoes of departure, in heartache's mound.
