You’re not the first
to leave me,
just the one
that hurts the most.
I loved you without fear
or regret,
without a safety net
or discarded shields.
I believed you’d never leave,
it’s the pivotal reason
I fell so haplessly
in love.
Background poem for the novel, “The Dangling Conversation.” Kyle levels up on the reason Nadia leaving has devastated him so much.
