Ending without Ending

Ending without Ending

This isn’t a goodbye,

just a pause that forgot how to breathe.

The story didn’t close

it simply stopped turning pages,

like it was afraid of what the next line might confess.

We became unfinished sentences,comma-held silences,

meanings suspended

between what was felt

and what was never said.

Nothing shattered,

Nothing healed,

It just… remained.

An ending without an ending,

where memories still knock,

where feelings never learned

how to leave,and time pretends

this was closure enough.

I didn’t lose you,

I didn’t keep you either,

I just learned

how absence can exist

without ever truly going away.

I try forgetting us always

But,I lie to myself

You come up always

Our memories never faded, and the thoughts of you keep ruining my happiness

I'm sometimes lost in my own thoughts

Your absence has been something I'm still fighting to get over

Nothing seems to be working

I must say,we ended without ending

You were all I had

You were the only pillar I wanted to rest on for my entire life

What did I do to deserve all these tears

You painted our beautiful future black

And never did you think of how I would be handling this situation

I never healed

I just learnt to remain silent

Because none of my words could bring you back, my heart is tired of remembering you

But then,how could it stop recalling your name when you still live in its chambers

I still can't believe we ended without ending...
