Silent Plea
In the car, the air was thick Words u spoken, but they stick. Your eyes they burned with a quiet plea, A silent wish you shared with me. "All of you" you said with a glance A look that made my heart dance. Your words they echoed in the space A claim, a pull, a reckless chase. But something in me stayed still, A voice inside that refused to fill A role in a story not mine to write, A love that lived in the shadows of night. You asked for secrets, hidden deep, But I couldn't promise what I couldn't keep. For in your eyes, I saw it clear— A connection that wasn't sincere. The tension, the pull so strong, But in that silence, I knew it was wrong. I couldn’t be just a fleeting fire A secret, hidden desire. I stood still, my heart intact, Not lost in the thrill not turning back. For in that moment I knew so clear, I couldn’t live with what wasn’t sincere.
