Silent Flame

She quietly slipped away 

Like a shadow in the night, 

Leaving fingerprints on the walls of his soul, 

Her deepest desires 

Forever unspoken, 

Hidden beneath the heartbreak 

She carries within. 

He will see her in passing,

confused by her silence,

Questioning, 

Overthinking 

And doing it all again. 

His words painted on her memory,

A daily reminder of where she dares not go,

For the sound of his voice 

Still intrigues her,

Forever igniting the flame 

Within her soul.-
