Dark shadows

EchoCanvas

Today my heart feels unusually heavy.
So many familiar faces drift back into my mind,
and memories circle me
like dark shadows that refuse to leave.

I wish I could sit with someone,
share a few simple stories,
and let my heart grow calm for a while.

But I can’t.
The words stop before they reach my lips,
and silence becomes
the only companion I know how to keep.

There is so much my heart wants to say,
yet today,
being quiet speaks louder than anything else. 🖤

    This poem speaks of fear and resignation, a decision that it is better to remain silent than to speak. Nicely done
