It began like cracks on a mirror—
small, invisible at first,
but each word left unsaid
spread the fracture wider.
Our voices, once rivers,
now trickled into dry beds of suspicion.
Trust, fragile as glass,
slipped through our hands
and shattered into shards
we were too tired to gather.
Our priorities—
like trains rushing in opposite directions—
pulled us farther,
until the distance between us
was longer than the horizon.
So I folded into myself,
a turtle hiding inside its shell,
thinking silence would protect me.
But silence was not gentle.
It was thunder behind closed doors,
waves crashing inside a hollow cave,
a scream without a voice—
louder than any argument
we ever had.
And in that echo,
I heard the truth:
it was not your absence
but my unspoken words
that built this wall of fire and ice
between us.
