The Silent Symphony of Unreturned Love

In shadows deep where lonely echoes dwell,

A heart beats softly, bound by love’s own spell,

Unseen, unheard, yet steadfast through the years,

A symphony of silent hopes and fears.

I watched you dance in daylight’s golden grace,

Your laughter lighting up the darkest place,

In every smile, a dream I dared not share,

For in your joy, I found my own despair.

A decade long, I walked this quiet road,

Beneath the weight of love’s unspoken load,

In whispered winds, I called your name in vain,

A love unreturned, a sweet, enduring pain.

Each passing year, my heart remained the same,

A burning torch, an ever-constant flame,

Though you moved on, oblivious, unaware,

My soul was anchored by a love so rare.

Through seasons’ change, from spring to winter’s chill,

My love endured, a force of iron will,

Yet in your eyes, I saw no mirrored glance,

No spark of hope, no hint of love’s advance.

In dreams, I held you close, a tender lie,

In waking hours, I watched my chance pass by,

For love unspoken is a silent thief,

Stealing joy, replacing it with grief.

But in this sorrow, I found strength anew,

A love that’s pure, untainted, ever true,

For though you never knew the depths I’d dive,

Your light alone kept my small flame alive.

And now I stand, at love’s forsaken shore,

A heart that loved, but could not ask for more,

In silent symphony, I played my part,

The greatest love, kept hidden in my heart.

Why It Has To Be You

Sitting alone and silently
I recall a special part of my life
That part came unexpectedly
And lasted only for a while

My life had been quiet and peaceful
Until that unforgettable moment
You came like a silhouette of my soul
Then you walked right through my heart

Every day was a picture of happiness
With no hint of loneliness
Everything was wonderful
Because I spent it with you

But then, as time went by
Feelings began to fade away
Tears fell down one by one
And it killed me to say goodbye

Every time my mind says move on
My heart says hold on
So many questions inside my head
But the answers are all up to you

Loving someone like you
Without boundaries
Makes me think deeply again,
Why, why it has to be you

The Struggle to Let Go

 I have bended will around to keep you in my life but,

Like a river seeking its course, you flowed away,

Through fingers intertwined, slipping beyond my grasp,

Leaving me with echoes of your laughter,

Echoes of your love.

I have bended will around to keep you in my life but,

In the quiet of the night, your absence echoes,

A hollow space where your warmth once lingered,

Memories etched in the crevices of my heart,

Whispering secrets of what we once shared.

I have bended will around to keep you in my life but,

Time moves forward, carrying me along,

While I remain anchored in the past we built together,

A fragile tapestry now frayed and worn,

Threads of love intertwined with threads of pain.

I have bended will around to keep you in my life but,

The walls I built are crumbling,

Cracks spreading like veins on old marble,

And I am left standing in the rubble,

Holding onto shards of what once was.

I have bended will around to keep you in my life but,

I realize now that love cannot be contained,

It is a force that must be free,

To grow, to change, to find its own path,

Even if it means letting go.

I have bended will around to keep you in my life but,

In the letting go, I find strength,

In the release, I find peace,

And in the echoes of your absence,

I find the space to breathe again.

A Place Without Distance

 We love one another in a place from which, no matter how far we reach out,

Our souls remain intertwined, bound by an unbreakable bond,

In the depths of silence, where words fail and touch reigns,

Our hearts speak a language known only to us.

We love one another in a place from which, no matter how far we reach out,

Time stands still, frozen in moments of shared laughter and tears,

In the dance of our gazes, in the warmth of our embrace,

We find solace, a sanctuary away from the chaos of the world.

We love one another in a place from which, no matter how far we reach out,

The echoes of our love reverberate through the corridors of our minds,

In the quiet whispers of night, in the soft murmur of the breeze,

We find peace, a refuge where love knows no bounds.

We love one another in a place from which, no matter how far we reach out,

Our souls find home in each other's presence,

In the symphony of our hearts beating as one,

We find belonging, a connection that transcends space and time.

We love one another in a place from which, no matter how far we reach out,

Our love is a flame that burns brightly, lighting up the darkest corners,

In the depths of our being, in the essence of who we are,

We find love, a treasure that we hold dear, forevermore.

What Do I Do

What do I do,

When I'm still in love with you?

The days drift by, the nights so long,

I wonder where we both went wrong.

What do I say,

To make these feelings go away?

Your voice still echoes in my mind,

A love so deep, yet undefined.

What do I feel,

When my heart won't seem to heal?

The memories haunt me, one by one,

Of laughter shared and battles won.

What do I dream,

When reality's not what it seems?

I see your face in every crowd,

Your absence speaks, so clear, so loud.

What do I hope,

When love's tangled in this rope?

We try to mend what's been torn apart,

But the same old wounds still mark my heart.

What do I fear,

If you were to disappear?

The thought alone brings me to tears,

A future marred by unshed fears.

What do I want,

When my soul's still yours to haunt?

To hold you close and make things right,

Or find the strength to say goodnight.

What do I do,

When I'm still in love with you?

I'll search for answers, one by one,

But until then, my love, I'll run.

Shadows of Yesterday: The Unending Search for Love

Love doesn't happen overnight.

Love doesn't argue about what's wrong or what's right.

And don't expect to find a love that will last

if the only place you're searching is in your past...

Love is hard to find; it's even harder to let it go.

Don't settle for something just because it's what you know...

We tell ourselves this time will be different.

What may work for a little while longer is irrelevant...

You can't fix what's already been broken.

You can't believe the new promises that have been spoken,

because the pain you forgave once before

will always linger in your mind each time they walk out that door.

This time won't be the same,

yet you find yourself playing the game,

but in this game nobody will win,

because every sinner is likely to again sin.

Your heart is in a million pieces.

Your life is full of hits and misses,

but one thing that still remains

is your ability to accept the things you can't change.

We all make decisions that we regret,

but it's our choice to forgive, just never forget.

Always stay true to yourself and your values,

'cause in the end that's all that matters.

Don't waste time thinking you're not worth it,

'cause no matter what anybody else thinks,

there's somebody out there who might just think you're perfect.

Love doesn't happen overnight.

Love doesn't argue about what's wrong

or what's right,

and don't expect to find a love that will last

if the only place you're searching is in your past.
