Unspoken Yearning

In shadows cast by doubt and fear,

A lonely heart, its whispers clear.

Yearning for attention, love's embrace,

Yet met with silence, a vacant space.

I reach for stars in the night's embrace,

Hoping to find a tender trace,

But like the wind, he slips away,

Leaving me with doubts that sway.

Does he wander with another's grace,

While I'm left here to find my place?

A phantom love, a haunting thought,

Leaves my heart in battles fought.

His words like echoes, distant and cold,

In a story of love that's left untold.

A puzzle incomplete, a riddle unsolved,

In this tale of longing, my heart's involved.

I question if his heart is torn,

Between another's love and my forlorn,

Aching for affection, a touch so sweet,

Yet trapped in this dance of incompleteness, we meet.

Oh, the agony of an unspoken truth,

A love that's hidden, lost in youth.

I wonder if he'll ever see,

The depth of my love, my silent plea.

But in the midst of this heart's despair,

I find the strength to rise and share,

My worth, my value, my light within,

No longer bound by where I've been.

For loneliness may cast its spell,

But I'll break free, and bid farewell.

To love that's one-sided, undefined,

In solitude's embrace, strength I'll find.
