A Silent Goodbye Poem by Noen Muti

'We pause for now? '
you uttered cold.
Do you not realize? Your silence unfolds,
Like an intentional departure, veiling the truth,
As if halting dreams once cherished, now uncouth.

Since that day, I've lost the essence of you,
Our conversations scarce, encounters so few.
I feel I've lost you, a profound cost,
Trying to release, waiting for moments tossed.

I learned to let go, anticipating the fall,
Until you spoke the words, ending it all.
Awakening from wounds that might have scarred,
Not regretting us, just feeling marred.

Not to lament our story's fate,
But traversing time with the wrong mate,
To rebuild dreams alone, I strive,
In vain...

Someday, perhaps, the echoes of our past will fade,
Leaving room for a new dawn, a solo serenade.
