There was a time when our hearts beat as one,
Now the silence lingers, heavier than the sun.
I used to be your comfort, your familiar face,
But now I’m a memory you can't quite replace.
Once, my name was the song on your lips,
Now it slips through the cracks, an echo that dips.
You’ve found someone new, someone to fill the void,
And I, in my quiet, am quietly destroyed.
I watch from a distance, a shadow, a ghost,
Once loved, now just a face you cherish the most.
How does it feel, to no longer need me?
How does it feel, to let go so easily?
I try to hold on, but I’m slipping away,
Fading in moments that never would stay.
You’ve moved on, and I, I am replaced,
A soul left behind, a heart out of place.
Yet somewhere beneath the hurt and the pride,
I see the pieces of us that still collide.
Though you’ve found another, your heart may still roam,
I’ll always remain the place you once called home.

Expressed in a honest and touching way, watching the person they love move on and they are left quietly watching from the sides, very well written
