The Whispers Of The Souls, Captured In Verse. By Misty-V

Silent wishes and verbal promises...

Got your text.

What to do next?

You said all the right things,

and now I'm feeling vexed.

I wanna text you back, just to let you know.

I'm really not mad, just tryna take it slow.

Guess you know me too well,

and maybe that's not bad.

But it hurts because we fell,

and now that's kinda sad.

I want to make it better, want to fix this mess.

But I'm hiding in this sweater, trying not to stress.

I want to tell you everything, whatever you want to know.

I want to keep our promises, and never to let go.

But with every verbal promise, there is a silent wish.

For example:

Promise to stay and I make a wish that you do.

Promise to speak, and I wish those words are true.

Promise to try and I wish not to be weak.

Promise to not to lie, and I wish you what you seek.

I make these silent wishes, with every verbal promise,

and I make them in my heart, I make them in the silence.

So words don't tear us apart. No burdens or heavy heart.

And I know I don't tell you much, but ask and now I will.

Don't leave and I'll try stay still.

Don't know what you want to hear, 

there's a battle in every tear.

Don't know what to say, but I'll try if that's okay.

Because even in a year, you're the one I'd miss.

But with every verbal promise, there is a silent wish.
