PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I don't need your promises anymore,

not your apologies, not even

your change.

I stopped waiting for you to

understand what broke me.

Stopped explaining, stopped begging,

stopped fighting to be heard.

Now I stay quiet, not because l've healed, but because I finally gave up.

One day, you'll remember how long I stayed, how I held on when no one else would— and you'll realize leaving was the only way

I could save myself
