“A Heart Nobody Hears”

I never asked you to save me…

I just wanted you to notice I was drowning.

I built a home inside your heartbeat,

Made a place where I could finally breathe.

But every time I reached for your hand,

I felt myself slipping through the cracks again.

I gave you love I couldn’t afford,

Pieces of me I can’t restore.

You saw my smile, you saw my eyes,

But never saw the war I hide.

I carry oceans underneath my skin,

A thousand storms I never let begin.

Nobody knows the weight I hold,

Nobody sees the nights I’m cold.

Your love is a beautiful disaster,

A fire that burns but pulls me closer after.

You’re the reason my heart still beats,

And the reason it falls to its knees.

I’m screaming without making a sound,

Lost in a love I can’t put down.

You’re the scar I refuse to erase,

The ghost that I still want to chase.

I learned to hide behind my pride,

To keep the broken parts inside.

I say I’m fine, I say I’m okay,

But my heart tells a different story every day.

I don’t need perfect, I don’t need gold,

I just want a hand when I lose control.

I want someone to see through the pain,

And love the parts I try to hide away.

LOOK AT ME!

NOT THE MASK I WEAR!

FEEL THE HEART

THAT’S DYING IN THERE!

I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING!

EVERY PART OF ME!

WHY DOES LOVING YOU

FEEL LIKE LOSING ME?!

Your love is the poison and the cure,

The one thing I hate but still adore.

I’d walk through darkness, I’d face the night,

Just to feel your hand holding mine.

Even if my heart breaks silently,

Even if nobody sees…

I’ll keep loving with everything I am,

Because that’s the only way I know how to be.

The deepest pain…

Is the pain nobody knows exists.
