Silently Grieving, We Cry

Silently grieving, we cry.
Nestled in our beds at night.
No one knows the pain we feel
Since the sorrow is our blight.

Silently grieving, we cry,
Hoping that someday we heal.
We walk with shadows pressed to skin,
The ache too deep for words to hold.

Our smiles are armor, thin and frail,
Our laughter forged to hide the cracks.
Inside, the silence screams so loud,
A weight that suffocates the soul.

Silently grieving, we cry,
Alone within the darkest hours.
The world moves on, it does not see
Behind closed doors, the wounds we bleed.
