held by your silence

You

aren't just a voice, honestly.

you're more like an ECHO that stays

in a room full of closing doors.

You

are the secret k e e p e r

of my unspoken storms.

the way you sit with my silence

as if quiet has a language

only YOU understand.

the way you H O L D my chaos,

without asking it to be calm,

and stay like the last candle

in a house that forgot light.

    like PATIENCE wears your face.

sometimes i think,

if my heart were a locked drawer,

you'd be the only key

that doesn't force it open.

if the night is a long highway,

full of blurred signs, strangers,

E̶m̶p̶t̶y̶ seats, and tired headlights

then finding you was like spotting

the one HOME that moves with me.

leave your quiet battles here.

    i'll FIGHT them.

leave your hidden scars here.

    i'll HEAL them.

all the fragile pieces

you bury beneath "i'm okay."

    let me HOLD them.

i t r e a s u r e them all,

keeping them safe

inside the softest corner of my soul.

    i'd stay here always.
