The Silence

 Each time we met my heart would yearn,

For words unspoken, for bridges burned.
Eyes would meet yet lips stayed still
Bound by silence against my will.
A thousand thoughts a million sighs
Lost in the space between our eyes
I wished to speak, to break the chain
But fear held tight, and words remained
And when you turned to walk away
I called your name a whisper, astray
But perhaps my voice dissolved in the air
Or you heard yet drifted,
like you were never there

Stuck between my heart and your silence

Stuck between my heart and your silence Neither can I hide what I feel so deep, Nor can I call you when silence you keep. My words are trapped, they long to be free, Yet you stand distant, untouched by me  The moon know my secrets, the stars hears it too  But how do I tell you what you already know? A battle unwon, a war unspoken, A heart that speaks, yet stays broken. If only the winds could carry my sigh, If only your heart would hear me try. But here I remain, lost in the blue, Loving in silence, waiting for you.                                                              AaHann

The three thoughts

Maybe we were friends. Maybe I was in love. But never ,never could it be that we were nothing. These was the three thought was in my mind  the first time your path crossed mine  The first time your eyes opened up a world that didn’t belong to me but felt like it could. Then I found out your favorite colors, how easily you could lift the weight my smile across the serious disposition  how your presence can made even silence feel like a song. I kept trying to understand you really see you and in every quiet moment, I found you in my thoughts. Those three thoughts shifted: Maybe it was love. Maybe we were more than friends. But never—never could we be nothing at all. And yet, something started to fade. A slow, soft ache settled in my chest, whispering that this love was always a dream I held too tightly. I waited for the quiet goodbye, the day you'd softly walk your own path. And when you did, my love dissolved into the silence I never knew I was carrying. You took my smi...

when words fail

EVERY DAY I WISH TO DIVE INTO YOUR EYES, TO LOSE MYSELF IN YOU, TO BREATHE YOU IN COMPLETELY... BUT WHEN YOU STAND BEFORE ME, EVERY EMOTION TURNS INTO SILENCE, ALL NIGHT, MY HEART CONFESSES TO YOU IN WHISPERS, AND BY MORNING... I FALL QUIET ONCE AGAIN. WITHOUT MOVING MY LIPS, MY EYES SILENTLY ASK  "CAN LOVE STILL BE TRUE IF IT'S NEVER SAID ALOUD?" THEY SAY LOVE MUST BE SPOKEN TO BE REAL THEN TELL ME - WAS MY SILENCE JUST BETRAYAL? -WAS THE LOVE THAT CLUNG TO MY SOUL EACH MOMENT, A LIE... JUST BECAUSE I NEVER FOUND THE WORDS? EVERY TIME I TRIED TO SPEAK LOVE WOULD BREAK AT THE EDGE OF MY LIPS. AND YOU... YOU JUST KEPT WALKING PAST, AS IF MY FEELINGS BELONGED TO ANOTHER WORLD. I FAILED TO FIND THE WORDS, YOU FAILED TO FEEL THE TRUTH... AND SO, THIS UNNAMED LOVE WAS SWALLOWED WHOLE BY SILENCE.                                          Aahann Malik
