I spoke the words: “I’m in a silent war,”
Not fought with swords, but wounds the soul has known.
A love forbidden, yet I longed for more,
In shadows, cast by light you’ve never shown.
You smiled in ways that let my hope arise,
A laugh, a glance, a voice too warm to fake.
Yet walls stood firm beneath your gentle guise,
And every step I took began to ache.
I called you cruel, though love was in my claim,
You bore my rage with silence, not disdain.
Two hearts that danced around a nameless flame,
With truth too soft to touch, too sharp for pain.
Now words are gone—no vow, no last embrace,
Just weight we shared, in quiet, sacred space.
-Author's Explanation
The equivalence of emotion is love that weighed the same, even without touch.
A silent balance—undelivered, perhaps, but never unequal.
Two hearts that never touched, yet bore the same ache, the same truth.
