The Melodies Of Love: A Symphony in Heartbreak & Hope

Silence

I sit in silence
with my heart in one hand and my pride in the other.
Weighing out the weight of each,
If there were a way to stop thinking,
To stop the running pros and cons
In my head,
Weighing the outcome of each
Wondering which one I should use more.

I sit in silence
Wondering what would be
If I chose my heart,
Knowing it'll break once I use it.

I sit in silence
Envisioning the disappointment of everyone when I start to use my pride instead of my heart.

At least with pride,
My heart won't hurt.

I just want to stop the hurt,
As I sit in silence
Whispering
"I promise I won't use you again"
To my heart
And place my pride
Back on my shoulders
As I push my heart in a box
Locking it with a key
Hoping I'll never need it again.

I sit in silence
Wrapping my arms around myself
While tears run down my face,
"I don't want to feel anymore."
I whisper to myself.
