Someone doesn’t have to leave to abandon you.**
**They can sit right next to you and still make you feel alone.**
**Neglect, broken promises, and emotional distance — that’s abandonment in disguise.**
Sometimes, it’s not the silence that hurts, but the presence that feels empty.
You reach for them, and they’re there — but not *really.*
Their eyes drift, their words are hollow, and the connection that once felt alive now feels like a ghost.
Emotional abandonment isn’t loud; it’s slow.
It’s in the way they stop listening, stop noticing, stop caring enough to ask what’s wrong.
You start questioning yourself, wondering if you’re asking for too much when all you wanted was to be seen.
That’s the cruelest kind of loneliness — the one that happens while you’re still together.
**Love isn’t just staying; it’s showing up.
And when they stop showing up, you’ve already been left behind.**
