The Cry of Silence
Amidst the crowd's relentless symphony,
Our silence reigns, a disturbing harmony.
Words aren’t shared, yet stories unfold,
Your hidden anguish, a tale untold.
I inquire softly, "Are you alright?"
You nod, yet unrest clouds your sight,
Unease creeps in, a shadow in the light.
Unspoken whispers flood the air,
Anxiety coils, a lingering snare,
Dread hangs heavy, a burden we share.
Seeking comfort in words unsaid,
But awkward silence fills instead,
Doubts linger, a tangled thread.
Our eyes meet, yet we turn away,
Familiarity lost, in disarray,
A stranger's presence, a heart’s dismay.
This silence, a weight I can't ignore,
Unease settles, an unwelcome chore,
Do you feel it too, deep at our core?
Restless, the quiet consumes my will,
Discomfort rising, time stands still,
Yearning for escape, for a moment's thrill.
In the midst of this bustling crowd,
Our silence resonates a deafening sound.
Echoes of the Heart
Nichole sat in her cozy living room, bathed in the soft glow of the evening sun. Memories of heartache and betrayal flooded her mind, each one a painful reminder of the emotional scars she carried from her past.
She had loved before, with a depth that had left her shattered and broken. But then she met Kenny – a whirlwind romance that ended in tears and anguish. In the aftermath of their separation, Nichole had vowed never to let anyone hurt her like that again. She built walls around her heart, brick by brick, to shield herself from further pain.
And then she met Andrew – a breath of fresh air in the midst of her distress. Their connection was instant, their passion intense. For a fleeting moment, Nichole allowed herself to believe that maybe, just maybe, she had found her perfect match.
But their relationship was short-lived, ending amicably as they both moved on to new chapters in their lives. Andrew had never hurt Nichole – he had been everything she had ever wanted, everything she had ever dreamed of. But still, she couldn't shake the ghosts of her past.
And then, out of the blue, Kenny resurfaced – a blast from the past that sent shockwaves through Nichole's carefully constructed defenses. As he attempted to reenter her life, Nichole grappled with a difficult decision. If she had to choose between Andrew, the perfect man she had recently met, and Kenny, the man who had hurt her, who would she pick?
Instantly, her mind betrayed her, choosing Kenny without hesitation. It was a truth she didn't want to accept, a painful reminder of the lingering hold he still had on her heart. It was a hard pill to swallow, a truth she didn't want to believe – but deep down, she knew it was the reality she had to face.
Summoning all her courage, Nichole decided to confront Kenny once and for all. She expressed the wall she had built around her heart, brick by brick, to guard herself from further pain. She spoke of the betrayal she had felt, the trust that had been shattered time and time again.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she confessed her fear of letting her wall down, of risking her heart for a love that may never be reciprocated. But despite her reservations, Nichole knew that she couldn't ignore the feelings she still harbored for Kenny.
As they sat in silence, Nichole braced herself for Kenny's response, unsure of what the future held. But deep down, she knew that no matter what happened, she had finally found the courage to confront her past and take a step towards healing.
