Haiku 1 – Betrayal
I saw it coming.Not the lie, but the comfortyou had in telling it.
Poem: "The Door Was Never Locked"
You didn't break me.You just provedyou were never strong enoughto hold something honest.
I watched you fumble loyaltylike it was a hot coal.Too real.Too steady.Too much.
So I stepped back.Let you go.
I don't chain what I outgrow.
Haiku 2 – Boundaries
My peace is fenced in.Not to keep people away—just to keep me in.
Poem: "No Warning Shot"
I don't argue.I don't explain.
I disappear when silence feels lighterthan your energy.
By the time you notice,I'm already legendin your memory.
One-line Reflection:
Some people confuse access with importance. Until they don't have either.
Haiku 3 – Freedom
I don't miss the chains.I miss the noise I mistookfor someone loving me.
Poem: "Folded Hands"
I don't wish you pain.Just distance.The kind that echoes.
The kind that makes youreach for what you lostand realize you dropped itbecause you didn't understandwhat you were holding.
One-line Reflection:
Freedom isn't walking away.It's realizing you were never being held.
