The Weight of Silence

-

I gave my all until I had no more,
But still, I wasn’t enough for you.
Now I’m letting go, though the ache remains,
The silence heavy where love once grew.

I untangle the ties and walk away,
But sorrow lingers, whispering in my peace.

Through the dark

-
We move with trembling hands, to promise where the road will end. Still, we step on stones slick with memory, no lantern bright enough through shadows that whisper of fear, hearts beating louder than the silence. Hope is a fragile flame, but even the smallest spark teaches our eyes to see. So we lean into the unseen, trusting the pulse between us, trusting that every stumble is a way forward, not back. And when the night stretches endless, we remember the stars are only found, by those willing to walk through the dark.

The Song I Didn’t Sing

That night, the room was loud with borrowed tunes, voices cracking over someone else’s words. You held the mic, half-smiling, off-key, brave— while I refused, too sure there’d be more time. A month later, silence. No last chorus, no drunken vow belted into static. Just the echo of a laugh I didn’t join, a door I didn’t know was closing then. Maybe I should’ve grabbed the mic, should’ve sung something sad and true— something that would’ve made you turn, something to say  I see the end coming too. Or maybe I should’ve stayed home, let the party spin on without me, so now I wouldn’t have to untangle which part was the beginning of the end, and which part was just a Tuesday.

Your name, unfolded

-
A brief hello, a hollow sound, The warmth we knew is nowhere found. The spark that lit my heart aflame Is now just ash—no love, no name. Yet still my thoughts drift back to you, To shades of what I thought I knew. But time has stripped the gold away, Leaving just dust of yesterday. So here’s goodbye, not said in pain, Just quiet truth—we’re not the same. The past is gone, the ties undone, I’ll walk ahead, my heart moves on.
