The Silence Between Us.

by Sam Harty

By ᔕᗩᗰ ᕼᗩᖇTYPublished about a year ago 1 min read

_______________________________

We don't talk anymore,

Our words

have faded into silence,

Lost in the vast expanse

of unspoken thoughts

--

We used to share our

dreams and fears,

Whisper secrets

in each others ears.

--

But now,

the distance between

is vast,

And our conversations

never seem to last.

--

Once a symphony

of dialogue,

now a few syllables.

Drying up slowly,

our conversations

now reduce

to a few emojis.

--

The silence between us,

a painful unrest.

The weight

of unspoken words

heavy on our chests.

Once, our voices sang

in harmony,

A symphony

of laughter and promise,

--

But now, the melody

has grown quiet,

And I don't know

what to do

to be honest.

    When we all fade away, one last time, we shall see our whole lives. Long years would seem like seconds but our love would be exactly like I remembered...

    Ugh...such a painful thing to experience, and you worded it so well. Hugs if it's true for you :)
