In the silence of the evening light,
Where shadows stretch and day turns night,
There lies a chasm, deep and wide,
The spaces between us, where secrets hide
Your eyes, once warm, now distant stars,
Reflecting wounds, like hidden scars.
Jealousy, a ghost that haunts the air,
Unspoken words that hang, unfair
Beneath the smiles and whispered lies,
Lie memories that never die.
A past that claws with phantom hands,
Etching trauma in shifting sands
I see the anger in your clenched fists,
The silent storms in tender wrists.
Yet words unspoken leave us mute,
Our hearts in cages, resolute
Sadness, a shadow in your gaze,
A silent scream in a darkened maze.
Your tears unshed, a well of pain,
A love that's lost in the falling rain
Indifference now, your shield and sword,
A distance grown from every word.
Yet in the quiet, I still see,
The spaces between us, you and me
