CANNED THOUGHTS
In shadows deep, where whispers lie,
Love blooms in silence, veiled from the eye.
A tender flame that flickers low,
In secret gardens where no light can show.
Our hearts converse in silent plea,
In hidden realms, where no one sees.
Each glance a secret, softly spun,
In the quiet hours when day is done.
No words can breach this secret space,
Where love remains an unseen place.
A hidden touch, a fleeting sigh,
In corners where our dreams must lie.
The world may turn its gaze away,
Yet in the darkness, love will stay.
An endless dance of veiled delight,
In the hush of every night.
For what we share, the world can’t know,
A private storm, a silent glow.
In shadows deep, our hearts are bound,
In love’s quiet realms, we’re truly found.
Contrived admission, a tale so bare,
Concocted explanations drift through the air.
Armed with nothing but goodbyes,
Lost in a sea of wandering eyes.
Stripped of my smile, laid out in dismay,
No more pretense, just truth on display.
And I don’t care, let it all unwind,
Lay there in the silence, leave the past behind.
What’s the time difference? I’ll never know,
In this timeless moment, let the answers flow.
I stripped my smile away,
Wearing nothing but goodbye,
Just look away—I might cry.
I've been through it all,
Still vulnerable, still small.
Let go of the days,
The world insists I’m meant to be this way.
Don’t be afraid to let down,
The masks you were never meant to wear.
Gnashing through free verse,
Stuck in reverse,
I’ve built up these walls,
Yet still, they fall.
