Through the Quiet Cracks

I heard my heart when silence fell

Where no one looked, you knew me well

I used to drown in empty sound

Smiles on lips but breaking down

Hiding pain behind the glass

Wishing someone else would ask

You came through the quiet space

Didn't rush, just held your place

Didn't try to fix the pain

You just stayed inside the rain

Every crack I tried to hide

You looked at it with open pride

I never had to speak the ache

You read it all with no mistake

You didn't flinch when I turned grey

You loved the parts I threw away

Held my fear like it was gold

And whispered truth I hadn't told

Through the quiet cracks I fall

You see the deepest parts of all

Even broken, you don't flee

You stay and still believe in me

All the nights I cried alone

You found the notes inside my tone

Didn't need a melody

To see the storm inside of me

You never asked me to be strong

You said it's fine to not belong

You made a home within my mess

Loved my chaos nonetheless

With every tear, you stayed so still

Gave my silence space to fill

And now I know I can begin

Because you loved the dark I'm in

You never needed painted light

You held my truth inside the night

Now every scar I've learned to keep

Feels like a song you made complete

Through the quiet cracks I fall

You see the deepest parts of all

Even broken, you don't flee

You stay and still believe in me

I never had to change for you

You loved me raw and broken too

And in the quiet, I can stay

You hear the words I never say
