Screenshot of poem written in text by @sherekhanum.bsky.social / user Shere Khancept:
when did I stop being your safe place?
and when did your love shift to mere affection?
I wish I could trace it all back,
plot the paths, walk the steps taken
so at least I'd understand --
but it's not understanding
I'm really searching for;
deep down, I ache
from impossibility.
I know that --
but knowledge alone
does not change make.
I wish you loved me.
I wish I'd stop wishing.
I wish you'd ever reconsider.
I wish that were possible.
the barriers are permanent
but it hurts worse that
you don't love me anymore -
like it was always fully a choice
for you.
the heartache goes quiet sometimes, but turns out it is still endless.
