Whiskey and Silence

I’ve suffered for months, loving a heart that kicked me down,

Holding on to touches and whispers that never made a sound.

Few times in my life I loved this deep,

Now it’s all gone, I sit alone with pain to keep.

A love born out of nowhere, looked like a game at first,

It grew wild, lost direction, driven by its thirst.

It was pure and real, beyond what we could reach,

A bond that nailed us to a fate we couldn’t breach.

Now it’s whiskey, candle, silence, I don’t pretend,

After all this time I hear the man I was again.

I don’t have much left to spare,

The whiskey burns too heavy, heart too worn to care.

A foolish love, submissive, blind, no pride, no forgiveness,

A fading bond that still remains our only witness.

Every lie, every smile that fed the flame,

Laughter born from emptiness, a fire with no name.

The nights may wash it all away, but truth won’t fade,

Real love hides inside the heart that breaks.

At the end of the line we’ll see what went wrong,

No road ahead, just silence dragging on.

Now silence is my only home, this glass my only friend,

But even in these ruins, I know love doesn’t end.
