Words Unraveled

I stood before you, heart in hand, Nervous whispers in the silence of our space, "I've fallen for you, I dared to say, Hoping to find my place in your embrace. But you, so calm, with distant eyes, Said you like to be alone for now, A gentle blow that cut so deep, Yet I can't help but wonder how. You crave a love that feels so bright, But I'm the one who gave my all, Caught in this storm of hopes and fears, Where love's a game, but I lost control. So here I stand, pen in hand, Hiding my heart in the words I say. In hopes you'll find, in the lines I weave, The love that's true, the love I grieve.
