In the house that once echoed with laughter,
Silence now stands, an uninvited guest,
Words left unspoken weigh heavy on the rafters,
What once was whole is now put to the test.

Eyes that once sparkled with joy,
Now avoid each other’s gaze,
Hearts heavy with burdens they can’t destroy,
Lost in the labyrinth of broken ways.

Conversations turn to whispers,
Secrets grow in the absence of trust,
Every moment feels like walking on splinters,
Love buried beneath layers of dust.

Yet in the silence, there is still hope,
For healing lies in the words unsaid,
A bridge to mend what’s torn in scope,
To bring back warmth where love once led.
