#quietlonging
A room that remembers the scent of memories. At the corner, red eyes met the cold breeze. When the sun climbs the quiet sky, no creases on the bedsheet, only stillness alive. The curtain doesn’t float, the wind no longer visits the windows. Lingering thoughts leave their imprint on the veil of settled ash. The flower has died in the blue vase. Echoes of the past tangled in the dark.

Veil of Ash
Window of Hope Morning light Local Cafe Window seat Two chairs One empty Coffee steam Paper unfolds Waiting now She appears Walking past Glance met Soft smile Hand raised Familiar wave Heart beats He dreams Chair filled Her laughter Across wood Silent hope Waitress comes Friendly grin No words Always same The routine Fresh tea Crispy bacon Fried egg Glistening bread Quiet joy Second *** Golden toast Thick butter Sweet jam Morning feast Bill paid One chair Still empty He leaves Walking home. Sun sets low Night passes Dawn breaks Steps return Same seat Door swings Steam rises Two chairs One hope Waiting again.

The Cafe
Here I am, sitting on my own. Dark room. My aching soul. Aware that you belong to the past— somehow it brings ease to my wounded heart. Glad you are not here; the world feels haunting, and I am full of fear. I was lost in my misery, couldn’t see the door waiting there. Heavy chest. Shaken breath. Your memories make me freeze. You were the light of my soul. I wish the truth had never been told.

After the Truth
I believe in self-love. I believe we shouldn’t depend on others for happiness. But in the long run, we all need someone— Someone who admires our efforts, Someone who showers love and care, Someone who stays loyal, Someone who lifts us when we fall, Someone to lean on—when self-care isn’t enough. Is it too much to ask for just that?

Between Independence and Longing
When you were my Yes; In a world full of Nos You were the only calm I knew Before I knew how it felt to lose, You were the open sunny skies Before I knew the cold winter The way we stitched stars to our dreams… And the way you didn’t have to ask my heart I just recognized it on my own! Our love was so loud.. Wild and fierce and untamed.. but It could not get louder than the voices… the voices I was raised to obey.. and voices built cages to tame its flame which is why the fire dimmed…. And even when I walked away It broke me in pieces where noone could see! And ever since I have worn silence; I have worn silence like second skin But you have lived in every quiet that I entered Memories of you crawl to me They find me in my every breath They find me in my shadow and just like that I carry you like my breath which I dont know to exhale- I am just an endless tide pulled trembling to your hidden shore.
