Fleeting Echoes of Unspoken Hearts

Behind mind's veil, a phantom muse ignites,
Weaving a whisper, where my heart commits.
Days unfurl, secrets yet to take flight,
Her presence, a melody, guiding my night.

I cloak myself in a stoic guise,
But in her gaze, my defenses fall and wane.
Innocence blooms, etched on pure skies,
A beauty unrivaled, etched without stain.

Confidence fades, courage takes flight,
Her eyes hold me captive, lost in her light.
A distant echo of a touch, once known,
Yet, she stands alone, a mystery unsown.

Words become mist in her soft, sweet air,
How to bridge the silence, share what we share?
Life's grand song, perhaps, a whispered theme,
Wishing her laughter, bathed in moonlight's gleam.

This world, a storm cloaked in velvet deceit,
For her, a wish, a haven ever-sweet.
Silently, I cradle dreams for her sake,
Her well-being, a promise my soul won't forsake.

But reality whispers, a path lies ahead,
To part ways, to wander, with sorrow unsaid.
Life's tapestry woven with threads untold,
Not every desire finds its destiny bold.

So I gather the courage, a silent goodbye,
A past echo silenced, a tear in my eye.
Rejection's shadow, a phantom to face,
I loosen the grip, set dreams into space.

Through time's echoing halls, I'll walk undeterred,
Lessons etched deep, in silence unheard.
Not every longing finds its earthly hold,
But in letting go, a new story unfolds.
