| I learned to disappear without leaving,
to make myself smaller than the ache in my chest.
I hold my breath between your moods,
counting seconds like prayers,
calling the cage familiar so it won’t feel like fear.
Somewhere along the way, I mistook endurance for devotion,
and silence for peace.
I learned how to keep you there.
How to speak softly and still bruise.
How to carve doubt into someone gently,
so they thank me for the wound.
I don’t need chains when my words stay behind your eyes,
repeating me long after I’m gone.
I remember when you touched me like I mattered,
when your voice felt like shelter instead of weather.
I chase that memory the way drowning people chase light,
even when it keeps slipping further away.
If I leave, I lose the only proof I was ever chosen.
I make sure you remember those days too.
I let them flicker just long enough to hurt.
Hope is more effective when it’s rationed,
when it almost feels reachable.
You don’t stay because you’re weak—
you stay because I taught you to wait.
I break in places no one can see,
smiling through lectures, nodding through days.
I tell myself this pain has meaning,
because the idea that it doesn’t
might finally undo me.
I watch you tell yourself that story.
I listen as you rewrite the truth for me.
You call it love.
I call it control.
Either way, you don’t leave.
And so we remain—
one of us shrinking to survive,
the other expanding to fill the space—
perfectly aligned,
perfectly ruined,
moving in rhythm
until neither of us remembers
where one voice ends
and the other begins. |
