A Soliloquy Of Silent Love

A raw piece of the broken me. Will appreciate feedback

I stitched your name into the quiet of my veins,
A hymn no one hears, a prayer that remains.
Each glance of yours—a sun I cannot touch,
Yet I burn all the same, by wanting too much.

I learned the shape of your smile like scripture,
Traced it on nights when the stars grew bitter.
But you walk past, a world of your own,
While I drown in oceans you’ll never have known.

My chest is heavy with words unsaid,
They bloom and wither, remain unread.
Every heartbeat knocks, but you never see,
How it bleeds for a place you’ll never grant me.

What cruelty, to love where love won’t stay,
To cradle a ghost in the light of day.
I ache in silence, I laugh in disguise,
While love writes elegies behind my eyes.

Still I carry it—this unreturned flame,
Both curse and blessing, both loss and blame.
And if my heart shatters, let the pieces show,
That I loved you too deeply for you to ever know.
