Silent Yearnings
In the shadows of my heart, you linger
In the shadows of my heart, you linger,
A ghost of dreams I dare not name,
Each glance you cast, a gentle stinger,
Ignites a tender, aching flame.
I watch you from a distance, longing,
For a touch that never comes,
In silence, I keep on hoping,
For words unsaid, forever numb.
Your laughter rings, a melody,
That echoes through my lonely nights,
A bittersweet soliloquy,
Of love that’s lost to distant lights.
Yet still, I hold this quiet flame,
A beacon in my darkest hour,
Unrequited, without blame,
Love’s fragile, unfulfilled flower.
