Silent Hurt Between Us (2025)

I met you when I'd ceased to dream,
That heart could find a path anew.
Without a plea, without a gleam,
You were my answer, then withdrew.

It wasn't easy, wasn't bright,
But truth held tight in silent space.
A love that asked for time and light,
And courage to embrace its place.

We hurt each other, speaking low,
With words half-said, in quiet doubt.
And silence grew, a creeping woe,
And pulled us on roads far apart, no doubt.

Now words between us cease to flow,
Just longing like a wound feels sore.
Each passing moment, soft and slow,
Presses us down, forevermore.

I hear my heart begin to break,
Each memory now burns with pain.
And all that was, for goodness sake,
Fades into mist, a bitter rain.

For in our midst, there wasn't fire,
But embers that consume in shade.
Our footsteps lost, a lost desire,
Just shadows left, a love decayed.

Not all of love demands an end,
Some just must suffer, deep inside.
To bear alone, no voice to lend,
When all that was, still makes you hide.
