The Shape of Your Goodbye

Your steps left without a sound

Yet my world shattered all around

No farewell was ever spoken

Just silence turning into broken

A warm cup left untouched

Our photo is still beside the window

All stand as quiet witnesses

To the shape of your leaving that echoes

It’s not just emptiness you left

But your imprint’s in every breath

Even the air remembers

You’re not coming back ever

The shape of your goodbye

Is a shadow in every space

Footsteps that no longer arrive

But their trace I still embrace

I reach for what’s left of you

Though you’re no longer near

You are gone…

But never truly disappeared.

The pillow on the side you left

Still holds the scent of your rest

Every night becomes a puzzle

What went wrong? Who let go first?

I learn to arrange the quiet

Rebuilding a world now cracked

But your shape, within memory

Remains whole, forever intact

You never said goodbye aloud

But the world knew something had changed

Since that day you disappeared

I’m no longer the same

The shape of your goodbye

It's a door that won’t open again

A laugh that now only echoes

A mirror with half a reflection

I walk through the hush you left

As if you’re still beside

You walked away…

But left your soul behind.

"You left shadows on that empty chair…

You didn’t say it… but I knew… this was the end…"

And now I see, love doesn’t always end in thunder

Sometimes it slips away…

Leaving stains that never surrender

The shape of your goodbye

It's me, unable to forget

It’s the space that keeps on calling

It’s a heart that's not healing yet

And if you ever return one day

You will see…

I still loved you, even after you faded away.
