You let me see the parts you hide
The softer rooms you keep inside
The names you never speak aloud
The fears that only wake at night
You opened doors you sealed for years
Placed your trembling in my hands
You thought that depth would make you safe
If someone else could understand
Slowly.
Slowly.
You came undone.
You went deep.
Past the shame.
Past the guard.
You went deep.
And something in you
Stayed exposed.
I saw the cracks beneath your skin
The weight you never let me lift
You trusted silence more than proof
Believed the quiet meant you fit
But distance grows without a sound
A colder air inside the room
No single word that caused the break
Just something fading too soon
Softly.
Softly.
It slipped away.
You went deep.
Past the fear.
Past control.
You went deep.
And lost the shape
Of who you were.
It wasn’t loud.
It wasn’t rage.
Just less and less
Of what remained.
The deeper you fell,
The harder to leave.
You went deep.
And now the space
Is wider.
You went deep.
And now
You don’t speak.
You went too deep
To stay the same.
You called it trust.
I call it wound.
You opened everything.
And I saw it all.
