"You said I matter, but you never showed it. How do I tell you what’s breaking inside me when every time I speak, it’s met with silence—as if my feelings are too loud for you to hear? You said I matter to you, but your actions never followed your words, and it hurts to be seen but not really noticed, to be heard but never understood. I keep trying to explain what’s already bleeding, hoping maybe this time you’ll see it differently, but it always circles back to the same ache, the same unanswered questions, the same emptiness between us. I wish I didn’t feel this much, I wish I could turn my heart off and stop hoping for something that never stays. You told me to trust you, but trust isn’t built on promises it’s built on presence. And every time I gave you mine, you left it standing in the dark, waiting for a truth that never came. I write because it’s the only way I know how to be heard, but even then, you don’t read between the lines. And what’s the point of words when they fall into silence with no echo, when actions never rise to meet them? Maybe I’m just tired of trying to make meaning out of something that refuses to mean anything at all."
