Broken Clouds
We spoke in shards Each word a jagged edge Cutting deeper than silence ever could
Your love was a fire Warm at first Then scorching, leaving ashes in my hands
I chased your shadow Lost in the labyrinth of your moods A maze with no exit A map I never owned
Promises dripped like rain From broken clouds Yet every drop stung Like betrayal wrapped in sugar
I held onto you Though you held onto control And in the quiet of night I wondered if love Was meant to hurt this much
I left pieces of myself In every argument, every glance And still, your memory lingers Like smoke I can’t chase away
