Unspoken Words
When the words are trapped in your soul, but actions still shine through.
She’s yet to say those famous lines
But shows her heart in woven signs
Refilling mugs and warming hands
A touch that says what words can’t span
A stolen glance, your favourite drink,
A laugh that’s meant for you and her.
She says I adore you, and lets that bloom
In tiny ways that fill the room
Your jacket waits ready by the door
A gentle proof she’ll do much more
Each gesture’s quiet, pure, and slight
Affection glowing in the light
So though her lips have yet to shape the phrase
Her actions love you in countless ways
She feels it thrumming in her chest
A secret she can’t quite confess
For love once shattered what she knew
Left scars where gentle moments grew
She holds the words behind her teeth
Afraid they’ll vanish underneath
That if she speaks, the spell will break,
And all she’s built will drift, opaque
It’s safer in the quiet space
To show her heart, but not her face
So she whispers fondness, soft, restrained
While love unspoken still remains
