The air was thick with things unsaid…

A quiet weight that pressed between us…

I felt the burden of every silence…

Those small truths…

Locked away…

Too fragile to speak about…

I knew I’d regret it if I didn’t say it right now…

But the words, they weren’t mine…

They trembled, waiting…

Stuck somewhere between hope and shame…

The moment stretched…

And I almost let it slip away…

And yet, I said it…

And it felt wrong…

Like I said it too late…

The silence after was cold…

The space between us heavy…

Like an ocean filled with words we never said…

They say there’s a power in silence…

But in that moment, that power…

It swallowed me whole…

And afterward, I couldn’t remember…

If it had been relief…

Or just the weight of something, lost…

My world tilted…

Not because the light was shining on it….

But because the dark had taken hold….
