The loudest battles are often fought in silence, where love fears being misunderstood.

Between Silence and You

My silence was never pride—

only fear, dressed in quiet.

I always knew the words;

I just didn't know if you'd hear the heart within them.

A thousand conversations

still ache inside my throat.

Every unsaid sentence,

another anchor in the dark.

You only ever saw the calm,

never the storm I was hiding.

I was never trying to win—

I was only trying not to lose us.

And I am still here—

loving, feeling, breaking—

praying for the patience it takes

for silence to finally become words.

      the thousand conversations stuck in your throat thing really does it for me. i think about that feeling a lot.

      the part about only seeing the calm, never the storm really landed. that's the loneliest part isn't it.

      i'm curious - does the silence ever break for you, or is it more that it just keeps going?

    • Blue velvet.

      He wore velvet, blue like the Pacific Ocean. Dark blue like the Mediterranean Sea. I watched him from afar. My heart burned for him, but when he left, the ocean entered a deep storm. He wore velvet, blue like the Pacific Ocean. I could still tell: there are tears streaming down his face. Blue velvet, like the Pacific Ocean, and an overwhelming emotional instability. I could still tell: there are tears streaming down that velvet. Blue velvet. Judson Kaique 27-07-2026

    • Club of souls

      The music is playing on its own, echoes like Queen's "Love Of My Life." Love is never enough. I lie alone in the twilight of the night. From July to December, will you still want me? Our relationship seems dead, I tried to be strong while enduring this. Will you still be mine? We're in a lonely club, would you still be mine? I felt you were too kind and manipulative. Take advantage of me, so I return to the shadows. "Love will never last forever, it's fleeting like climate change" - you

    • The Weight of "Just"

      I know how easily the word "just" can erase a wound for everyone except the one carrying it. So I learned to move through the world as gently as I wished someone had moved through mine.

    • Brown like chocolate.

      I was just sitting by my window writing poems when I saw your eyes. Brown like chocolate. Maybe you made me blush, maybe a little. I've never seen a girl like you. Wavy brown hair. I'd take a minute out of my night to talk to you. But the phone rings, and I don't know what to say. Maybe I'll see you again in the summer. Brown like chocolate. You took my breath away for a minute, a little stunned and blind. The phone rings again, but no one's on the other end of the line. My room is a mess. I'd

    • Life of a Rain Drop

      A tiny raindrop, with a plain little mind, falling from the sky, wavering in the wind, as millions of others alike, wonders where the land would be. Swirling in the breeze, with a sweet, sweet dream, it dashes into a seemingly wonderful stream — past forests, humming in chorus, then splashes and thrashes into the vast sea. Lost now, it stares at dolphins and whales in awe, chasing swarms of swordfish in a dazzle, gliding through glitters in the warm rays of sun, until it lifts and dances on th

      It wasn't about two months; I just wished you'd be beside me, if only for that one day.
