In the quiet of the night, silence falls,
A heavy weight upon my troubled soul.
Words unspoken hand in the air,
Their absence a chasm, too deep to bear.

My heart, aflutter with unspoken fears,
Trembles at the thought of shedding tears.
For in this moment, words could ignite,
A tempest of emotions, blinding light.

Yet silence reigns, a fragile shield,
Protecting fragile hearts from wounds concealed.
For in the depth of quiet, truth reside
Unspoken, but felt, in the tears we hide.

So I hold my tongue, though it burns to speak,
Knowing the cost if our truths should leak.
For in this delicate dance of love's refain,
Sometimes silence speaks louder than pain.
