Bared My Soul



In a world of endless whispers, I found solace in our bond,
Opened up my heart and soul, the stories I had never told.

With trembling words, I bared my truths, a vulnerable display,
And as I spoke, unseen, I felt your heart's beats.

Your presence was a symphony, your ears a gentle shore,
Each secret I unveiled, your caring powers, all I could snuggle.

You listened with such tenderness, my fears you understood,
And in that fleeting moment, my worries were no longer a burden to my soul.

But now, oh where have you gone? A ghost within the crowd,
Leaving me in solitude, an abyss, black as midnight, with no sheltering cloud.

Did my honesty scare you off, a burden you couldn't bear?
Or was it simply fate's cruel joke, a twist in love's affair?

I search the depths of memory, tracing back our shared time,
Our laughter and our tears, now lost in moments' climb.

I long for your warmth again, that once familiar voice
But all that remains is silence, an echo I miss so much more.

Yet, through this heartache's haze, I vow to carry on,
To find the strength within myself and rise like the dawn.

For though you've vanished from my world, your impact still resides,
In the tales I've woven with you, where love and trust collide.

So farewell, my missing piece, I'll cherish what we splendidly shared,
And in my prose and poetry, our memories will be expressively bared.

For I told you how I felt, and you listened with such gentle grace,
But now, you're gone, nowhere to be found…again…you've left an unbearable trace.
