After a breakup,
a dark cloud haunts you everywhere,
like it’s their shadow,
friends ask “are you okay”,
the same response everytime,
“I don’t care”,
the lie I can’t help but say,
“I don’t care”
as I make posts about you,
“I don’t care”,
as I stare at our old messages,
“I don’t care”,
as I cry every day over us,
“I don’t care”,
as I care so much to the point it consumes me,
i’ll never stop caring,
caring about the way you would always cheer me up,
caring about the way you made me feel loved,
caring about the way you stared at me,
but did you care about me?
the hurt you permanently made didn’t feel like care,
maybe you don’t care,
and I do.

Powerful words
when you say “the hurt you permanently made,” can you tell me more about what moments still feel so heavy? i want to understand.
it sucks so much, but giving yourself space to feel all that care and pain is actually what helps it fade over time. journaling it really helped me.
it’s easier to say you’re okay than saying how broken you feel and how nothing feels the same without them.
i kept telling everyone “i’m fine” while my heart was shredded, scrolling our old chats at 3 am. it’s exhausting to care when they don’t
