Screenshot fate

Left on read...

And now I’m bleeding in silence, again.

Did you even notice?

Hit the scene like I never existed

Left me ghosted, like I ain’t persistent

Layin’ in bed, starin’ holes in the ceiling

Wonderin’ if you'd flinch if you felt what I'm feelin’

Laughed through the pain, made it a joke

Every scar—another punchline I spoke

Said I’m tired, you just nodded

Didn’t see the noose in the words I plotted

I was loud in the quiet, silent screams

But no one sees when you fit their dream

Showin’ up with a cracked up grin

Till the light in my soul gave out within

You said “I’m here,” but not when I bled

You held the glue... and watched me shred

Did you notice when I broke that night?

Or did my tears just drown in the streetlight?

Fadin’ out, with no grip to hold

But I guess you were busy, let the story unfold

Did you see me—or just the mask?

‘Cause I ain’t felt real in ages past

Burned every bridge just to see who'd care

Lit the whole sky, but nobody was there

You watched from a distance, cool and numb

While I turned to ash with no place to run

Left messages in jokes, cries in sighs

You skipped the lines, ignored the signs

Said “I gotchu” when the weather was calm

But when thunder screamed, you were gone

Called me strong like that shit meant peace

But strength’s a lie when the pain won’t cease

And no one checks in when you smile too well

So I kept sinking—alone in this hell

I didn’t want saving, not some fake light

Just someone to sit in the dead of night

No prayers, no quotes, no “I miss you” lies

I needed you before I said goodbye

Did you notice when the light went black?

Or did you just scroll, never lookin’ back?

I held on, thread thin, breath tight

But you smiled like I’d be alright

Did you even hear me—did you feel the weight?

Or am I just another screenshot fate?

I left clues in the quiet, but I guess they were small

A meme, a laugh, nothin’ at all

That’s the curse when you're dyin’ inside—

You want someone to see…

But you still hide.

Don’t post a quote.

Don’t fake that love.

Don’t type “miss you”

When you gave me none.

I needed you.

I needed you.

But now I’m just... background noise in your feed.

Maybe I talk too much when I’m hurtin’.

Maybe I don’t say enough when I’m breakin’.

Maybe I died in drafts you’ll never read.

Maybe I’m just a ghost you helped bleed.

And if I vanish...

Let the silence explain.

'Cause pain left on read

Still feels like pain.
