Comma Between

We talked in pauses, not in lines
In moments made of almost signs
You said enough to make me stay
But not enough to clear the gray
A sentence split, but not yet done
A comma placed where we should’ve run
Comma between, too close to end
We bent the truth, we tried to bend
What’s left is not a story clean
Just pieces paused in what has been
You held me like a thought unsure
A whisper that won’t find a cure
Half-written love, half-meant reply
We never said a full goodbye
