Broken Under Silence - Aliza
No word spoken
But everything said
We sat across the table
Just staring at our hands
The space between our fingers
Felt like shifting sand
You didn't raise your voice
You didn't slam the door
But something fragile
Wasn't there anymore
No final argument
No tears to defend
Just quiet distance
At the end
I was broken under silence
With no sound to blame
No shattered pieces
No fire
No flame
Just heavier
And vacant eyes
Broken under silence
Without goodbyes
We still said good morning
Still shared the same room
But love had slowly
Given up its bloom
Your touch grew lighter
Your heart unsure
And I kept pretending
We were secure
I searched for noise
To make it clear
But silence screamed
You weren't here
I was broken under silence
Soft and slow
No one saw
How deep it would go
It wasn't loud
But it was real
Broken under silence
I couldn't heal
Maybe loud endings
Would have hurt less
At least they leave
Nothing to guess
Now I sit with echoes
Of what we had
No dramatic ending
Just quietly sad
No thunder cried
No violence
Just a heart
Broken under silence
