I Found My Light

You come back soft. Eyes like a storm, your voice kept

low. You breathe her name like it bruises. I mean,

you were reckless, say you didn't know. You stand where the door remembers

you're leaving. As another shadow when you turned away. But I learned

how silence carves itself into grieving. Survived the words you never dared to say,

say. I was scared, like fear's some currency you spend. And I politely

see straight through the air. My heart's already mapped what it can't

mend. And yes, I miss how you set me on fire.
