was it another heart beating?
if so, i never heard it.
i never hunted it,
when i was close to you.
was it the distance?
from afar, i adored.
your love dwindled,
until extinguished.
was it the happiness?
i looked for, in you.
the dependence i relied upon,
that you were eager to remove.
was it the build up?
finally, amounting.
the fear of it,
being set in stone.
was it the long nights?
where you, never slept.
i offered assistance,
but you dismissed.
was it just time?
to end, to dissolve.
i kept asking,
but you’ll never tell me.
