did you feel that?

It was subtle

Barely noticeable 

At first

But I felt it

I noticed


It was the end

Tiny little pieces broke away

Tiny little parts of me

Of you

They fell apart

So small that they weren’t always noticeable

But I felt it


Did you feel that?

The moment you stopped loving me

The moment I no longer saw you

It happened so fast

You couldn’t even see it

But I felt it


Did you feel that?

The energy I pushed your way

On days I felt yours low

On days when you were hurting most

I sent the best parts of me to you

Did you feel it?


The days you felt alone and abandoned

I surrounded you with all the love I had

Did you feel it?

I was there even when I wasn’t

Even when it hurt to be

Did you feel me?


Or did you just not care?

Was it too late?

Did it no longer matter?

Did you feel me slipping away?

Because I did


I felt your light going out

Your skin was dull

No more smiles 

A darkness covered you

I felt that


You stopped talking

Stopped crying

Stopped being

I felt that


Your touch was different

Love was there

But nothing else

And love is never enough

No matter how much we had


I felt it


I felt you leave before you ever did

Before the words were ever said

The tears were ever cried

The pain was ever felt

I felt it


I felt you in every way 

But somehow 

You didn’t feel me at all
