"Exit Wound"

---

You didn’t leave me.

You tore through me.

---

You said goodbye with your back turned

Like I was some phase you had to burn

No hug, no fight, no final line

Just silence... and that was your crime

You walked out clean — like I meant none

But you forgot the wreckage you’d become

You left the house, but not the pain

I’m still sweeping up your name

---

It wasn’t a break

It was a war I lost

And I’m still bleeding

From the love that cost

---

You left like a thief, but you took too much

Now I’m here with an exit wound and no touch

Every “I love you” still echoes the room

You didn’t leave scars — you left a tomb

And I can’t heal

From your exit wound

---

My mirror still reflects your ghost

My pillow smells like your lies the most

I burned the shirt you always wore

But it still lives in my second drawer

Tried therapy and white wine nights

But you show up in red tail lights

And even when I sleep alone

I wake up reaching for a phone

---

They say time can fix

But time just loops

When the heart you gave

Was never true

---

You left like a thief, but you took too much

Now I’m here with an exit wound and no touch

Every “I love you” still echoes the room

You didn’t leave scars — you left a tomb

And I can’t heal

From your exit wound

---

You broke me where no one could see

Now I smile in public just to breathe

But the truth is hidden, tucked in tears

I still carry your love like a souvenir

---

You left like a thief, but you took too much

Tore the good in me just to feel your rush

Now I wear your silence like perfume

Sweet then gone, but never removed

I’m not just hurt —

I’m your exit wound
