The Wound of Almost
This is the scar left by people
Who almost loved you right
Who told you what you wanted to hear
Who saw you just enough to make you believe
Who touched your soul,
Only to walk away without warning.
Not out of cruelty or indifference…
…but with fear and cowardice.
And that almost is its own kind of heartbreak
One that stings a little more
One that hurts a little longer
One that makes you feel like nothing
One that leads to self-doubt
And makes you question everything.
Because you’re left grieving what almost was…
…and what could’ve been.
