"Written in Pain"

i've wandered through the corridors of silence, Chasing echoes of a love that never spoke its name, Each step I take feels like the last, Yet each step brings me closer to a place unknown. I’ve loved many, but none have touched the heart of my heart— None have seen the pain wrapped in the fabric of my soul, A pain that is not loud, But whispers softly, like the wind through the trees. I seek not a lover of flesh, But a healer of the unseen, Someone who can trace the cracks in my spirit And fill them with light—without asking. In this search, I find myself, A puzzle with pieces scattered across time, And somewhere, beyond the dust of this world, There’s a love that waits for me, A love that sees me, not as I am, But as I was meant to be. I wait for her, The one who will turn my darkness into stars, The one who will see the universe in my eyes, And find a home in my heart. Verse 1: I’ve wandered through the gardens of fleeting love, Each flower withers before I can breathe it in. Chasing shadows, I drink from the empty cup, Each sip, a promise unkept, a wound unstitched. I seek not the touch of hands that fade, But the gaze that pulls me into the eternal. A love that burns without leaving ash, A flame that warms but doesn’t consume the soul. verse 2: i’ve tasted love, but it was not the river— it was the desert’s mirage, the thirst unslaked. i want the moon’s glow in her smile, the quiet storm in her eyes, to hold me without grasping, to see me without judgment. i long for her to be the wind in my chest, the air that frees the weight of my breath. a love so pure, it has no name, no need for words to bind it to the flame. chorus: i am a traveler, lost in the labyrinth of myself, looking for the one whose silence speaks the truth. a love that does not ask, but knows the answer, a gaze that sees through my scars and heals them. in her heart, i’ll find the peace i’ve been seeking, for in her soul, the universe is breathing. bridge: she does not walk upon the earth— she is the earth, the sky, the sea. i will dissolve into her, for in her arms, i am both lost and found. her heart beats in rhythms of stars, a song i cannot yet sing, but will learn to hum. outro: i will wait for her like the night waits for the dawn, no need for words, only the knowing. for when she arrives, time will fold, and all the pieces of my broken heart will be whole.
