At Least I Deserved a Better Goodbye

How do you leave when the world still spins,
When the weight of your absence sinks deep within?
The walls remember the sound of your voice,
But I was left standing with no choice.

You walked away as if I was a name
Written in sand, erased by the rain.
Did you not feel the trembling ground,
The crack in my chest, the deafening sound?

At least I deserved a parting glance,
A moment of truth, a final chance.
To ask the questions buried inside,
To face the storm, not run and hide.

Did it hurt you to see me break?
Or was my love too much to take?
I gave you my heart, my soul, my fire,
But you left me with ash, with cold desire.

The days unravel like threads of pain,
Each one whispers your name in vain.
The echoes taunt, the shadows remain,
A goodbye should not feel this profane.

I held on tight when the winds grew fierce,
I healed the wounds when the world would pierce.
But you dropped my hand with a careless ease,
As if love was a passing breeze.

Was it love, or was it a lie?
Did you see my tears when you said goodbye?
Your silence lingers like a ghostly scream,
Haunting my nights, stealing my dreams.

I deserved a word, a look, a tear,
A gesture to prove I was once dear.
But you turned your back, and I stood there frozen,
Left in the ruins of a love unspoken.

I search for meaning in the lines of your face,
In the fractured memories I can’t erase.
Did I ask too much when I begged for why?
At least I deserved a better goodbye.

Now the years will pass, and I will endure,
But the scars will remain, jagged and pure.
For nothing cuts deeper than love’s last lie,
When at least, I deserved a better goodbye.
