The Unseen Heart

I write your name in empty spaces

I write your name in empty spaces,

In whispered thoughts and fleeting dreams,

A love that fills forgotten places,

With silent tears and muted screams.

You walk past me, your eyes unseeing,

To you, I’m just a passing glance,

But in my soul, there’s deep believing,

In a love that never had a chance.

I weave my hopes in threads of sorrow,

A tapestry of unseen grace,

For every dawn, each new tomorrow,

Brings another longing trace.

Unspoken words, they fill the air,

Invisible, they swirl and dance,

A secret love, beyond compare,

Forever lost, without a chance.
