Drowning in His Silence…

Late night, staring at the ceiling,

Heart heavy with unspoken feelings.

Every buzz, every ring, a phantom sound,

But your silence eats me, I’m breaking down.

When the stars are just whispers,

And the world fades away,

I’m lost in our moments,

But they’re never enough to stay.

I wear your words like a shroud,

Perfect smiles through the screen,

But the man I love, in shadows,

Can’t find out what I mean.

Every tear that falls, echoes through the night,

I’m drowning in your silence,

Afraid to hold you tight.

Your family’s eyes stare cold,

I’m just a ghost in your dreams,

But how can I walk away from

What’s ripped apart at the seams?

So I cry, oh I cry for you,

Every day and night, why can’t you see it too?

Wrapped in shadows, love, can we survive?

When your touch feels distant, how do I stay alive?

Fear is a chain, and it binds me tight,

Your hands were once tender, now they bring fright.

Momma says love's supposed to be bright,

But the darkness consumes me, will I ever see light?

Your cousins whisper, saying it’s about the gold,

But they don’t know the embers, of a heart that’s grown cold.

I wear my love like a scar, invisible to you,

But each bruise is a story,

Of the pain I’ve been through.

Every tear that falls, echoes through the night,

I’m drowning in your silence,

Afraid to hold you tight.

You say I’m worth the world,

But do you see the fight?

I’m aching in the shadows,

Desperate for the light.

So I cry, oh I cry for you,

Every day and night, why can’t you see it too?

Wrapped in shadows, love, can we survive?

When your touch feels distant, how do I stay alive?

I’m hoping, I’m praying for a change in your heart,

But in this fight for love, it’s tearing me apart.

In the echoes of a silence that screams so loud,

Will you see me? Will you hear me? Will you break through the crowd?

I’m lost in love, but I don’t know if I’m found.
