DETACHED

I stopped living in it, started watching it instead — that’s when it changed.

⸻

At first I was reacting to everything you did, every word, every shift, every move that you made

Back and forth in my head trying to figure it out, thinking maybe it’s me, maybe I should’ve behaved

I was stuck in the middle of it, caught in the rhythm of it, questioning things I should’ve seen clear

Trying to fix what was never mine, losing my peace of mind, feeding a cycle that kept me there

Then I stepped back, started observing — patterns repeating, it all started surfacing

Same situations with different disguises, same kinda moves just a change in the timing

That’s when it hit me, nothing was random, I started to see it exactly for what it is

Now I don’t question it, I just acknowledge it, I see the pattern and leave it as what it is

⸻

I don’t react, I don’t chase, I don’t move how I did before

See it clear, read it quick, I don’t need to be sure no more

Same cycle, same play, I don’t fall in that loop again

Stay quiet, stay calm, I don’t feed into you again

⸻

You say you don’t need me but still you return, every time I create a bit of distance

Any little chance and you’re back in my space, but I don’t move the same, there’s a difference

I see the behaviour, the need for attention, the way that you move when it’s slipping away

Then act like it’s me when I don’t entertain it, like I’m the problem for not playing the game

I’ve grown past that, I won’t react back, I don’t get pulled into that energy

Used to get caught in it, now I just walk from it, that version don’t exist in me

⸻

Say what you say, I don’t answer to that

Used to react, now I cancel all that

You play your role, I dismantle that act

I see it once, I don’t double back

⸻

I don’t react, I don’t chase, I don’t move how I did before

See it clear, read it quick, I don’t need to be sure no more

Same cycle, same play, I don’t fall in that loop again

Stay quiet, stay calm, I don’t feed into you again

⸻

Detached… not cold… just aware
