THE AXIS OF MY SILENCE
She steadies the chaos that storms my skies, The axis of truth where my silence lies. Her light is the center, the ground, the flame, The fragile world I cannot name. I love her twisted, in shadows I stay, Avoidant, unsure, yet I guard the way. No simple vow, no common flame, But a love that is crooked and still holds her name. I carve a shield from the midnight skies, A quiet oath where devotion lies. No spoken promise, yet all the same, I guard her soul in love’s own name. For she is the reason my stars still align, The pulse in the dark, the eternal sign. She binds the fragments, she holds me true, The center of all I am, and all I do. Though fear may fracture the words I hide, My silence still whispers what won’t subside. Each sideways glance, each fleeting embrace, Conceals my vow to keep her safe. I orbit in silence, yet I never depart, She anchors the galaxies inside my heart. Not average, not simple, but endless, profound, My love is the cosmos where she is found. -MILI
