Sealed Heart
Behind these doors My heart is sealed, My thoughts are seen My love locked I’m the only one who knows Secrets like these are never known Behind closed doors My tears flow like rivers, Tears meant to be seen I cry for hearts unknown I cry for what I’ve lost Yet they don’t cry back.…

Sequel
I told you my pain, and you reenacted it perfectly It is as if I wrote you a script on how to tear me apart You sat and listened day after day, word after word, and you sat and memorized it Like you were memorizing a script As if my pain was a movie, you…

When Words Found Me
Image Source: Unsplash- navneet mahajan I lived in silence, lost and small, No echo rose to heed my call. The world moved fast, I stood behind, A stranger to my own tangled mind. My tears would speak, but none could hear, Each dream was bright, then disappeared. Then words arrived — soft, undefined, They touched…

The Bloom Within The Crack
Image Source: Unsplash- Ted Balmer A rock stood firm through storm and sun, Unmoved, unbroken — by anyone. Yet deep within its hardened seam, A crack appeared — like a silent scream.
