The Silence She Wears
She won’t tell you what she’s feeling deep, She guards her heart where secrets sleep. Not because she wants to lie— But love has made her learn to cry. She won’t say what’s behind her eyes, Where dreams still live and pain still lies. She’s been through storms, been left in rain, Now every touch could bring back pain. She’s afraid—of love too fast, Of moments sweet that never last. Afraid you’ll laugh, then walk away, Like others did—like love’s a game to play. She’s scared she won’t be someone’s first, That she’ll be last, or maybe worst. Afraid to bloom in someone’s light, Only to fade alone at night. But oh—if only you’d move slow, And show her love she’s yet to know, You’d see the fire she hides with grace, The poetry behind her face. Hold her close, be soft and true, And she will give her soul to you. For once she knows she’s safe, adored— She’ll love you deeper than the world’s ever stored.
