When Silence Fills the Space
Shaista, you were the light in every dark night,
Your voice, a melody that made all wrongs right.
I lived for the warmth in your every word,
Now left cold in silence, with nothing heard.
Once, every whisper would touch my core,
Every moment with you, I'd crave for more.
Now silence sits heavy, like a stormy sky,
Your absence lingers, and I just ask why.
I still hear echoes of laughter you brought,
The playful banter, the love we sought.
Yet here I sit, alone in the dark,
Searching for embers in ashes gone stark.
Did my words lose their way on the breeze?
Did I falter, Shaista, or forget to please?
My restless soul, like a caged bird's flight,
Wanders through memories on every night.
If you’d speak, even to show your disdain,
I’d welcome the storm, the fire, the rain.
For worse is this quiet, this void so deep,
Where all I can do is remember and weep.
Shaista, if walls of pride hold us apart,
Let them shatter to reveal my heart.
I call to you not out of simple despair,
But because without you, there's emptiness there.
I’ve written a thousand words you’ll never read,
Poured out my soul with each silent plead.
I’d give every breath, every heartbeat and tear,
Just to hear your voice calling me near.
