Unseen Threads

 

"Unseen Threads"

Sometimes I feel you,
Not in the world’s noise,
But in the quiet between my thoughts.
Like a whisper from a place I can’t reach,
But know too well.

It’s as if our souls—
Despite everything—
Still hum on the same silent frequency.
I breathe… and somewhere,
It feels like you do too.

Even in your absence,
There are moments when
Your presence wraps around me like mist—
Not warm, not cold—
Just… familiar.

I don’t know if it’s memory,
Or something deeper.
But sometimes,
It feels like we're still talking
In the language of the unseen.

Yet with every pull,
I remember the pain—
The harsh words, the cruel eyes not yours,
But ones you never shielded me from.

And then I let go.
Not of the love,
But of the hurt it carried.
Because even soul ties
Deserve peace.
