In the silent night

In the quiet of night, she silently weeps, 

heart tangled in secrets she's forced to keep. 

His words like whispers, his actions unclear, 

Leaving her longing, drowning in fear. 

Expectations of forever, of vows untold, 

But in his eyes, a hesitation behold. 

She feels like a shadow in his perfect design, 

Her flaws exposed, her worth in decline.

Past trauma and mistakes, a heavy chain, 

In his heart, echoes of lingering pain. 

Unable to trust, unable to believe, 

Their love held back, struggling to breathe.

She longs to break free from the bonds of despair, 

To find solace in a love that's fair. 

But he lingers on, refusing to release, 

Leaving her heartache never to cease. 

In the depths of her sorrow, she finds a glimmer of light, 

A strength within her, ready to take flight. 

For love should uplift, not shackle or bind, 

May she find peace and healing in her heart and mind.
