Heart Left on Read

Text bubble popped, then it disappeared,

Guess I said too much, made it all too clear.

You wanted the vibe, not the depth I gave,

Now I’m sittin’ here tryna act unphased.

I ain’t mad you left — I’m mad I stayed.

Mad I let you in past the guarded gates.

You smiled like love but moved like maybe,

Now my heart’s glitchin’ like the signal shaky.

Heart left on red — guess that’s what I get,

For sendin’ full love to a partial thread.

You said “we good,” but your silence said no,

Now I’m out here tryna heal from a ghost.

You ain’t reply, but you taught me this:

Never text first when your worth’s dismissed.

I ain’t bitter, I’m just fed,

Of givin’ life… to a heart left on read.

I re-read messages like they still change,

But time don’t rewind, and pain don’t explain.

Why do I write like you’ll finally care?

Why do I hope like you’ll still be there?

Maybe it’s me — too deep, too soon,

Or maybe you just ain’t got the room.

But don’t act like I didn’t try,

When I was the only one replyin’ “why?”

I ain’t just a text — I’m time.

I ain’t just a line — I’m spine.

You left me red, but I bled blue,

Now I’m ghostin’ the ghost of you.

Heart left on red — guess that’s what I get,

For sendin’ full love to a partial thread.

You said “we good,” but your silence said no,

Now I’m out here tryna heal from a ghost.

You ain’t reply, but you taught me this:

Never text first when your worth’s dismissed.

I ain’t bitter, I’m just fed,

Of givin’ life… to a heart left on read.
