Echoes of the Heart

Silent Decade

Ten days of silence, a heavy heart

A chasm of quiet, where words once did part

The ache of not speaking, a hollowed space

A longing to connect, a distant, fading pace

Memories of laughter, of whispers and of tears

Echoes of moments, through all the passing years

The weight of unspoken words, a burden to bear

A silence that's deafening, a stillness that's rare

In this quiet expanse, I search for a sign

A glimmer of hope, a chance to re-align

The stars that once guided us, now hidden from view

Leaving only shadows, where love and laughter once shone through

I wander through the days, lost and alone

The silence a reminder, of what's been undone

The words we used to share, the laughter and the tears

Now replaced with emptiness, and a hollow, gnawing fear

That we may never speak, that the silence may prevail

That the love we once shared, may forever fail

To bridge the gap between us, to heal the wounds of the past

To find our way back, to a love that will forever last

But still I hold on, to the memories of our love

The way we used to be, the way we used to rise above

The challenges and the struggles, the triumphs and the strife

Together, side by side, as partners in life

And so I wait and wonder, if we'll ever speak again

If the silence will be broken, and our love will reign

If we'll find our way back, to the love we once shared

And if our hearts will once again, be filled with love and care

The days turn into weeks, and the weeks turn into months

The silence grows thicker, like a fog that slowly mounts

But still I hold on, to the hope in my heart

That one day, we'll find our way, and never again be apart

That one day, we'll speak again, and the silence will be broken

That one day, our love will shine, like the morning sun unspoken

That one day, we'll laugh again, and our hearts will be as one

And the silence of ten days, will be just a distant, fading sun

But until that day arrives, I'll wander through the night

Searching for a glimmer, of the love we once held tight

And though the silence may be, a heavy burden to bear

I'll hold on to the hope, that one day, we'll be together, without a care.
