The Hurt You Left Behind

This book is not about love,

nor about hearts that stay.

It is about the ones who come

and leave halfway.

It is about the words

you never got to say,

and all the feelings

you were never asked about anyway.

Some people leave quietly.

Some leave with promises.

But all of them

leave something behind.

This is a collection

of that something.
