HOUSE POET ~

When a woman detaches emotionally, it’s not loud. It’s not dramatic. It’s quiet. Subtle. Almost unnoticeable at first. She stops arguing. Stop asking. Stop explaining. Stops waiting. Stops caring. She simply lets go. And when she lets go, it’s permanent. Because the version of her that loved you blindly, that fought for you tirelessly, that stayed up late hoping you’d change. That version no longer exists. You’ll notice it in the way she no longer
reacts. In this way, she’s no longer bothered. In the peace that radiates from her absence. You’ll realize too late that the woman who once gave you everything has now given you nothing and it wasn’t out of spite, but self-respect. Understand this: you don’t get to mistreat a woman, drain her, break her trust, and expect her to return the same. Once her lesson is learned, the chapter is closed. And the next time you see her? She’ll be stronger. Wiser. Colder. Unavailable. So cherish her while she’s yours, because once she detaches she’s gone in ways you’ll never be able to reach again.
