I wrote this about my ex, while we were still together. I have been thinking about him lately this week, it's weird because we broke up in October and I've gotten more in my head about him than I did when the breakup was fresh. 

Shadow of Departure: A Verse Unveiled

By: JAR

In shadows, your words unfold,

A tale of warmth turned icy cold.

Always focusing, you claim, on me,

Yet tables turn, a bitter plea.

You say I never ask, never listen,

While I bear the weight, my heart in prison. 

Talk bad, you do, in jest they say, 

Yet wounds are real, in shadows they lay. 

You yearn for me to see the light,

But news flash, it's dim, not shining bright.

Different ways you helped, I confess, 

But when you left, our troubles coalesce.

Hating outings, yet loving the air, 

A contradiction, life's complex affair, 

Fall is fine, a few friends in town,

But summer and spring, I won't bestow. 

In my head, a world unseen,

Struggling with a mind that's never been clean.

You push for positivity, miss little bright,

Yet sadness lingers, like day and night. 

you never grasped my mental strife,

the battle fought in the canvas of life. 

Fuck you, I say, for the facade you create,

Forcing smiles while my heart aches.

I wish you left before the strife, 

Instead, you made me try for a broken life. 

In fleeting moments, I thought you'd stay, 

A future glimpsed, then faded away.
