The Quiet Goodbye

They mocked

the way they walked,

spoke,

loved.


The cruelty

was constant,

in corridors,

in comments,

in quiet glances

that screamed.


But they didn’t cry out.

They swallowed the shame,

wore silence

like armour

that cracked

slowly

every day.


No warnings.

No notes.

Just a moment

too heavy to carry.


An empty chair.

A message left on read.

A light

gone out

without a sound.


Now we mourn

what we never saw,

a quiet soul

crushed

beneath the weight

of a culture

that wears cruelty

like a trend,

and calls silence

strength.
