When Words Fall Slient
I’m a simple girl with a heart so wide,
My feelings flow, there’s no place to hide.
I speak my mind, let the world know,
Every emotion, every ebb and flow.
I wear my truth like a bright, bold hue,
A canvas of feelings, clear and true.
No room for silence, no space for doubt,
I shout when I'm happy, cry when I’m out.
He’s the opposite, quiet and reserved,
His thoughts locked tight, unobserved.
A silent river, deep and cold,
His feelings hidden, never told.
We tried, but the distance grew,
His silence felt like a shadow, too.
I crave to share, to laugh, to cry,
But he holds his heart, and so do I.
In different worlds, we can never meet,
Our hearts are roads that don’t complete.
I’m a simple girl with strong, clear views,
And he’s a man who chooses to refuse.
So we part, as we must,
Our paths diverging, built on trust.
For in love, it’s the words that bind,
And without them, we’re lost, undefined.
