The Words That Could Undo Us

The words you carry are heavier than the night.

I see the storm gathering behind your teeth,

the lightning of a truth you’re afraid to release.

Hold it a moment longer— let the world stay still before your voice reshapes it.

For even silence has its own pulse.

The air between us is thick with meaning, a thread pulled tight but not yet broken.

Some truths are more powerful when they hover unspoken— warm as breath, sharp as longing.
