The silence that binds us (Marcella Boccia) 🎧 English

The silence that binds us (Marcella Boccia)There is a silence between us,Thick as the night before a storm,A space where words cannot reach,Yet where everything is said,And nothing can be undone.It holds us—Like the stillness before the first drop of rain,A breath drawn too deep,Too fragile to exhale,As though even the air knowsThe weight of what remains unsaid.In this silence,You are both a ghost and a flame,A shadow cast on the edges of my thoughts,A fire I cannot touchFor fear it will burn me whole.Yet still, I reach—Not for you,But for the echo of you,For the space you leave behindThat swells like an ocean in my chest.We speak without sound,Each glance a letter in a language we cannot write,Each pause an eternity that folds us closerAnd pulls us further apart,As if our hearts are bound by invisible threads,Pulled tight with every unspoken word.This silence,It is the air we breathe—Heavy with longing,Cloaked in the dark of forgotten dreams,Yet it is also the space where we exist,Where love rises like smokeAnd disappears before it can be named.And so we remain—Not in the sound of our voices,But in the silence that binds us,A bond stronger than any vow,A truth that neither of us can escape,Not even as the winds of time carry usFurther from each other.
