It’s not just an incomplete chapter,
Not simply a tale without end—
It’s the ache of a silence that lingers,
The longing that time doesn’t mend.

I wrote it from a place of love,
With ink made of hope and fire,
But somewhere, the pen turned brittle—
Snapped beneath unseen desire.

The plot never followed a path,
No hero, no arc, no resolve—
Just memories pressed between pages,
Too heavy for me to evolve.

So now I stand with the match in hand,
Not in rage, but in release—
Letting go not out of fury,
But in search of quiet peace.

Each flame a whispered farewell
To the versions of me I outgrew,
A requiem sung in embers
For the things I once thought true.

This isn’t the end of a story,
It’s the start of something untold—
Sometimes, the truest freedom
Is setting the story cold.

I work in title idea more than actuall poetry sometimes

freshvalley-29

olivelizard-57 OP
