*The Day the World Stood Still*

Hands damp with sweat;

Blood pulsing with spiked cortisol;

Heartbeat echoing like thunder;

"Stay or go?" pondered amidst a tumultuous mind.

This scenario was not the first or the hundredth occurrence,

Survival mode a constant, a life in endurance.

Ensnared in his narcissistic web,

Escape attempts futile, in bondage I was kept.

In the abyss of hopelessness and defeat,

You emerged, a beacon, my retreat.

Your presence, a balm to my fears,

Safety and security after countless tears.

Palms now dry, anxiety dissipates,

Heart finds its steady rhythm, liberation awaits.

To breathe freely again, a cherished sensation.

In his presence, my heart raced,

A cycle of slavery and freedom embraced.

Lost in a whirlwind, up or down, I couldn't discern,

A rollercoaster unchosen, a journey to unlearn.

You granted distance, a reprieve for my mind,

Space and time, a chance to unwind.

Yet, excitement for the future met an abrupt demise,

Self-blame lingered, as if fate comprised.

A moment froze, the world standing still,

How did it unravel, where did it spill?

You, unready to commit, moved on with feverish haste,

Soon, the distressed damsel's hero left without a trace.

Tidal Wave

Today, my guitar strums a somber refrain,

Tears cascade, a melancholic rain.

Lost in thoughts, missing you anew,

Heartache whispers, "How could this be true?"

In the grip of a tidal wave, I linger,

Longing to confess, yet courage withers.

You moved on swiftly, a hastened chase,

Left broken, my heart in a displaced space.

Navigating a whirlpool of uncertain fate,

A path unclear, in sorrow, I await.

You, unparalleled, in solitude stand,

Reluctantly admitting, love slipped through like sand.

Amidst this emotional hurricane's clutch,

Daily yearning, regret's relentless touch.

Why did you leave, why not remain?

Alone, I confront the echoes of love's refrain.

Thoughts of you persist, a haunting plea,

Hidden desires, an unrequited decree.

Facing the harsh truth of reality,

I meant nothing, a heartbreak's finality.

In this tidal surge, you claimed not ready for commitment,

Yet swiftly embraced a new sentiment.

Happy for you, but betrayed and confused,

Alone, I ride the wave, emotions bruised.

In solitude, I navigate this tumultuous sea,

Feeling used, emotions lost in the debris.

Left broken, uncertain of where I stand,

Alone, riding this relentless tidal wave, unplanned.

The Cry of Silence

Amidst the crowd's relentless symphony,

Our silence reigns, a disturbing harmony.

Words aren’t shared, yet stories unfold,

Your hidden anguish, a tale untold.

I inquire softly, "Are you alright?"

You nod, yet unrest clouds your sight,

Unease creeps in, a shadow in the light.

Unspoken whispers flood the air,

Anxiety coils, a lingering snare,

Dread hangs heavy, a burden we share.

Seeking comfort in words unsaid,

But awkward silence fills instead,

Doubts linger, a tangled thread.

Our eyes meet, yet we turn away,

Familiarity lost, in disarray,

A stranger's presence, a heart’s dismay.

This silence, a weight I can't ignore,

Unease settles, an unwelcome chore,

Do you feel it too, deep at our core?

Restless, the quiet consumes my will,

Discomfort rising, time stands still,

Yearning for escape, for a moment's thrill.

In the midst of this bustling crowd,

Our silence resonates a deafening sound.
