Behind the Walls of Silence

In the shadows, I wear a mask,

Hiding truth, it’s a heavy task.

Every word, a fragile thread,

Building walls in my heart instead.

I reach for the light, but it flickers away,

Every time I open, you just push me astray.

A plea for your help, I hold back in my chest,

Watching you twist every word I confess.

You make me feel foolish, drown me in doubt,

Can’t show you the color, when you black it out.

Caught in this cycle, I’m losing my way,

Can’t find the strength to love you each day.

How can I be vulnerable? How can I be true?

When love turns to battlefield, and I’m fighting for you.

I’m lost in the silence, where words turn to pain,

Hoping for sunshine, but all I find is rain.

I laugh through the cracks, but you’ll say it’s a joke,

Trying to be silly, but all I feel is broke.

You take my emotions and make them your own,

Every time I’m honest, I feel so alone.

Inside I’m a fortress built high with my fears,

Each brick holds a memory, cascading like tears.

Caught in this chasm, my heart feels the strain,

Wishing you’d see me beyond just the pain.

How can I be vulnerable? How can I be true?

When love turns to battlefield, and I’m fighting for you.

I’m lost in the silence, where words turn to pain,

Hoping for sunshine, but all I find is rain.

I know there’s a spark, it flickers inside,

A love that could grow if we’d turn back the tide.

But walls that we build can be hard to dismantle,

Can we find the flame through this emotional scandal?

How can I be vulnerable? How can I be true?

When love turns to battlefield, and I’m fighting for you.

I’m lost in the silence, where words turn to pain,

Hoping for sunshine, but all I find is rain.

So I’ll keep my heart close, juggling this mess,

Searching for courage in love’s wilderness.

Two souls intertwined, can we find a way through?

For now, I’ll keep longing, hoping you’ll see me too.
