Within the essence of a cold soul, lies a fortress erected from brick. This is where emotions are forbidden, and the walls remain as a barrier to any attempt at intimacy. It is a state of separation where warmth struggles to reach. The presence of another can evoke only emptiness, for the spirit within is ensnared by its own private defenses.
Secrets Hidden
The burden of feelings can be a painful thing to carry. Sometimes, we hold back our anguish, keeping truths locked away inside. We erect walls of reserve, dreading the outcomes of releasing what we truly perceive. This routine can imprison us, leaving us lonely in a world of unspoken copyright.
- Hope remains that one day the dam will crumble, allowing the current of expression to gush.
- For now, we must find resolution in the stillness that engulfs us, understanding that even in reserve, our souls are not forgotten.
The Unbroken Silence
In the heart of the stillness, secrets resonate. Each murmuration is a spectral tremor, a token to past events. The air thickens with an unspoken truth. A tangible barrier divides us from the truth that remains concealed.

Existing Through a Concrete Sky
The city grips you with its unyielding sky. Buildings tower toward the heavens, their glass and steel fronts reflecting back the faded light of the sun. A constant murmuration pervades the air, a thrumming symphony of engines and distant voices.
Here, nature is confined to tiny patches—a scraggly tree struggling for sunlight on a fire escape, a single bird darting between skyscrapers, the faint scent of rain after a fleeting shower.
Yet, even in this concrete jungle, there are moments of fragile beauty. The gold hues of sunset bleeding through the canyons, the sparkle of streetlights on wet asphalt, the sudden laughter of children playing in a park. These are the moments that remind us that even beneath a concrete sky, life finds a way to flourish.
In what place Sorrow Dwells Unseen
A soul heavy with grief can often be found lost in a world that presents itself indifferent to its pain. Their spirit is a labyrinth of anguish, where shadows dance and whispers of past joys haunt every corner. Here, sorrow takes on a life of its own, an unseen presence that lingers in the silence between breaths. It envelops them like a shroud, veiling the light within.
Yet, even in this abyss, there are glimmers of hope, fragments of resilience that refuse to be erased. For sorrow is a fleeting visitor, and though its influence may linger for a time, it cannot ultimately consume the human spirit.
