The Shape of Staying

Leaving was always easier.

You mastered it young.

But staying—

this is new.

This is unsteady.

This is terrifying.

Yet with him,

it isn’t a trap.

It isn’t a cage.

It isn’t an obligation.

Staying is a choice—

one you make in the quiet moments,

in the soft exhales,

in the way your body leans

before your mind catches up.

Staying becomes a shape

your heart learns

slowly,

carefully,

honestly.
