If This Was the Last

Some thoughts languish in the corridors of time, hidden behind the shadows of hesitance, unexpressed emotions trapped in cobwebs, silent screams suppressed through fear, words of love written through ink less pens, tears covered in pretentious smiles, how many such hearts become tombs to their desires..? say it dear love , hold it no more, your longing is no eternal sin, do not stand alone and give secret looks, your eyes betray the furnace deep within, no amount of blinking will quell the truth, say it before the season is past, how many winters will you walk alone? say it before this dreary night ends, even if this was the last night you live… Written 17/09/2023 Free verse For the Silent one sponsored competition “ If this was the last” poetry contest
