I have a thousand thoughts
that never learn to speak,
so I leave them in the quiet
where only you can hear.
You never ask what broke me,
never ask me to explain
you simply curl beside my heart
and make the silence safe again.
Perhaps that's why I love you
you don't try to heal my scars,
you just sit beneath my darkness
and remind me there are stars.
The world can be unbearably loud,
but with you, I need no words
just your sleepy eyes, a gentle purr,
and two souls choosing not to leave.
Maybe I rescued you once,
or maybe I got it all wrong
because somewhere between your paws
I found the place where I belong.
And if tomorrow feels heavy again,
I'll carry it, as I always do
but somehow every road feels softer
when I know it leads me back to you.
