🕊️ When They Leave You Carrying Their Sins — The Selfish Games People Play
💔 Poetic Prelude:
They left like a whisper in the wind,
But the silence they left behind screams.
Wore halos, spoke of truth and care,
Then left me buried beneath their schemes.
I held their wounds like they were mine,
Yet they called me the one who broke.
They walked away with clean hands—
I stayed choking on the smoke.
There is something deeply unsettling about this world—not the wild beasts, not the ghosts of myths—but the hearts that beat beneath human skin.
We are taught from childhood to fear monsters with claws, but no one warns us about the ones who leave quietly, guiltlessly, after leaving you buried in questions they should’ve answered.
People don’t always leave with a slam; some leave with a smile.
They walk out with your trust in their pocket and your innocence on their conscience…
Only, they never feel the weight of it.
You do.
🤝 The Give-and-Take Illusion
Love, kindness, care—they should be gifts.
But here, they are trades.
If you speak gently, the world expects you to keep speaking gently—forever. If you break once, they forget the thousand times you stood whole.
This life has quietly become a transactional battlefield, where the emotional currency is more volatile than money. A moment of kindness turns into a life-long receipt.
And when you fail to "return" the expected emotion—they call you cold, selfish, changed.
But what about the time they didn’t ask if you were okay?
What about the pain you swallowed silently?
What about the nights you cried for them?
They forget.
But they never forget the one time you couldn’t smile.
😇 Playing Holy, Leaving Guilty
The most dangerous people are not the obvious villains.
They are the ones who push their faults into your hands and then wipe theirs clean. They make you question yourself so deeply that you forget they were wrong.
They walk away. You stay stuck, rewinding every word, every gesture—trying to prove you were not the villain of your own story.
They wear the mask of decency, and you wear the scars of silence.
🐾 Animals Don't Hurt Like This
A lion may roar. A snake may bite. But neither will pretend to love you before they do.
That’s the real tragedy of being human:
The ones who hurt you come with hugs, flowers, and promises.
We fear animals, but it’s the people who destroy from inside out.
And worst of all?
We still love them after.
💭 Final Thoughts: Not Everyone Who Leaves is Worth Missing
Let go of the guilt they gifted you.
Stop replaying scenes where you did your best and they still made you feel “less.”
Some people were never meant to stay—they were just lessons wrapped in warm smiles.
And that’s okay.
You don’t owe anyone your sanity just because they once said “I love you.”
🌿 Because in a world full of masks, protecting your heart is not selfish—it's survival. 📝 "Have you ever felt this kind of emotional betrayal? Share your story in the comments—I’m listening."
