Will You Stay If I Break?

- A Love that Fades While Holding on

By PSYGENIUSPublished 11 months ago 1 min read
Will you sit beside me anyway?

1.

If I say nothing,

will you sit beside me anyway?

If my voice trembles,

will you hear the words I cannot speak?

2.

The space between us feels endless,

but would you cross it just to find me?

I don't ask for touch,

but would you hold me with your words,

like I'm something worth saving?

3.

I laugh too often-

can you see the sorrow beneath it?

I push too hard-

but it's only to know if you'll stay.

My silence is screaming-

can you hear it?

4.

I am unraveling,

piece by piece.

Would you gather what's left of me,

or will you let the wind take it away?

    This one is raw and aching in the best way. The quiet desperation, the unspoken pleas—it’s all so beautifully woven together. That last stanza? Hits like a whisper that lingers.
