"You love someone deeply, but circumstances force you to stay away forever. And slowly, this pain is consuming you."

Decoding silence is a rare art, mastered by few who truly listen

The Silent Loss

Amidst the cheers, the crowd's embrace,
I wear a smile, but it's out of place.
The trophy gleams, the victory's near,
Yet deep within, a quiet tear.

What is this void, this hollow inside?
A whisper of loss I cannot hide.
For in this race, I left behind
A piece of soul, a peace of mind.

The hands that clapped, the voices loud,
Could not dissolve the aching cloud.
A fleeting moment, a hollow cheer,
What truly mattered was nowhere near.

Oh, joyless win, what did I trade?
A fleeting crown, yet my heart betrayed.
The lesson learned, though bittersweet,
Some losses hurt more than defeat.

-

Oh, these cold winds, these raindrops,
January mourns December’s parting,
Just as my soul longs for you.

Night veils in mist, stars dim,
Every tune whispers your name,
Every tale carries your essence.

Without you, seasons fade,
Life stands still, waiting, aching.
Come back, and the world will bloom again.

-

I thought I was everything, just me, only me,
Like you are to me, my world, my infinity.
Lost in this illusion, I lived so free,
Believing there was nothing else, only you and me.

But today, with love, you gently confessed,
How you admire someone else, with your heart impressed.
I asked, “Who is it?” My heart held tight,
You said, “My first love,” and shattered my light.

It hurt so much, I couldn’t deny,
That you admire me, yet my tears won’t dry.
The thought pierced deep, haunting my view,
That I couldn’t love enough to make you forget too.

Just like I forgot, in the love we share,
Every shadow of the past, vanished in your care.
But this is proof of the love you’ve given,
So vast, so deep, it feels like heaven.

Yet still, I feel, I’ve somehow failed,
To love you enough, where your heart is jailed.
Once again, I’ve lost, my beloved, today,
But believe me, I love you more than words can convey.

Thank you for trusting me, for loving me so,
For making me feel worthy of your heart’s glow.

Memories Unframed

No pictures to show, no snapshots to keep,
Just moments alive, in hearts they seep.
Laughter, secrets, dreams we’ve shared,
A bond so strong, none compared.

Frames may fade, but we remain,
Memories etched, clear as rain.
With zero photos, yet full of light,
You’re my treasure, my soul’s delight.

-

Yes, I do remember,
But what can I do?
These thoughts,
They just come, unbidden,
Rising from some hidden corner of my heart.

I remember your schedule,
Just as vividly as I remember you.
You, who saw me at my worst—
Disheveled hair,
A trembling voice choked with tears,
A face distorted by sorrow.

You saw my shaking hands,
My heart, frantic with fear,
All of it.
And yet, you never left me,
Not even then.

So how can I believe,
That you don't care for me?
But today, when you said,
"Sorry, I have to leave,"
What do I do?

If I stop you even now,
What am I?
But if I let you go,
How will I ever be whole again?
It'll remain unanswered forever..

**Unsaid Goodbyes**

We met by chance, a fleeting start,
A bond that grew, choice on our part.
In words we shared, in moments rare,
A quiet comfort, beyond compare.
Each dawn began with your gentle note,
And night with whispers our hearts would float.
Unbidden, this rhythm took its place,
A habit formed in time’s soft embrace.
Then came the day you wished to meet,
A first hello, tender and sweet.
But who could know, in that embrace,
Lurked the shadow of your retreat?
You said, "No more," and I complied,
Questions buried, tears denied.
I tried to ask, "Was it my fault?"
But your silence locked the vault.
Now I battle this aching void,
A habit lost, a soul destroyed.
I crave your voice, but I restrain,
For calling would just deepen the pain.
Perhaps I was never meant to keep,
A bond so pure, a love so deep.
Your leaving proved what I once knew—
I’m only worthy of being left too.

Lost in Silence

I stay quiet, yet they find me wrong,
In this house where I don’t belong.
A mother’s scorn, a heavy weight,
My silent care meets only hate.

I see my son, his joy, his light,
The only warmth in endless night.
But doubts creep in, they cloud my way,
Am I enough, or just in the way?

The darkness calls, but still I fight,
For his love, I’ll seek the light.

-

It's tough when the silence feels so loud,
When no calls or texts form a cloud.
Perhaps he's busy, his mind at play,
With exams that might keep him away.

But hold on tight, this phase will pass,
Your bond is strong, like unbreakable glass.
Soon you'll hear from your yellow star,
No distance can keep love too far.
