The Day the Silence Spoke - Arden Coley
The room was still, the sunlight low
Words unsaid began to show
We sat across with eyes anew
No argument, no curtain to undo
The air was heavy with things we'd lost
A quiet truth, no matter the cost
Every glance, every pause, a gentle sigh
Our hearts spoke softly, no need to try
The day the silence spoke, it told us all
The rise, the fall, the unseen wall
No louder words could capture the pain
In the quiet, we both knew the same
Hands once held now rest alone
No final phrase, no tone of stone
Memories linger like shadows on the floor
A love that whispers, but speaks no more
Every breath, every lingering glance
Said everything without a chance
The day the silence spoke, it told us all
The rise, the fall, the unseen wall
No louder words could capture the pain
In the quiet, we both knew the same
We don't need to speak, the truth is clear
A fragile ending held so near
The echoes of love soft and low
In the silence we finally know
The day the silence spoke, it told us all
The rise, the fall, the unseen wall
In the quiet, we both knew the same
The light fades slow, the room breathes deep
The day the silence spoke, a vow we keep
Faded
