The truth

by Beautiful Tragedy   Oct 26, 2026


Did you fall off the face of the earth-
Did a meteor strike wipe you out and leave no evidence behind,
Did someone kidnap you and you still haven’t escaped?
I have half a mind to subpoena hospital records and call local jails.
It would make more sense than “he just walked away”,
Cause no you didn’t and how could you and why.
Blue eyes under long eyelashes are the worst thing to ever haunt me-
It flashes across my vision with the autumn colors through the car window,
The sound of the laugh you made when you caught me staring at you?
It’s on repeat.
I’m a mosaic of our memories-
I’ve been trying to piece myself back together,
Scavenging my drawers for superglue and tape while I fall apart but
I don’t know how to fix something you didn’t actually break.
And your instagram has been quiet since the baseball game-
I had to delete your chat from my messages but your name is still imprinted on my eyelids,
Reminding me of what I lost every time I close my eyes.
Did you fall off the face of the earth?
Were you put into witness protection?
Did a meteor strike you and leave no evidence behind?
Every possibility hurts less than what the truth is.
