Ink & Shadows: The Words of Osiris j Reapor

How cruel to lose in just one night
What felt so safe, so sure,
To wake and find what held me close
simply doesn’t exist anymore.

And crueler still to watch you go
As though it cost so little,
To see you step so easily
Beyond what broke me brittle.

I keep replaying every word,
Each moment, every touch,
And break beneath the weight of knowing
I simply was not enough.

Perhaps I was a passing flame,
A shelter from the cold,
A place to rest until your heart
Found somewhere else to go.

You moved as if our ending left
No shadow in your chest,
While I am left to grieve a love
You laid too quick to rest.

So here I stand with empty hands,
Still staring at the door,
Trying to mend the part of me
You do not reach for anymore.
