Behind the Veil

Invisible Boundaries

019

Between you and me
there lies an uncharted territory
words never spoken
the echo of sentiments unexpressed
creating a chasm wide and deep


In silence, it stretches
between our exchanged glances
language only felt
a dialect of pauses
heavy with the weight of unsaid apologies
unasked questions


Our smiles, like veils
mask our true thoughts
leaving a terrain of guesswork
where understanding dares not tread
for fear of uncovering
the raw, unspoken truths
that might disrupt the delicate balance
we’ve meticulously maintained


The invisible boundaries between us
crafted from the clay of avoidance
form a fortress
Within these walls, we roam freely
around the subject
choosing safety and distance
