What Hurts Without a Name?

Is it normal to miss what never existed?

To ache for a face, I can't define.

To carry a weight, I cannot see,

To cry in silence where no eyes be?

I love the hush, I crave alone

Yet something in me longs for home. A home not built, a hand not held, A whisper in me still compelled.

I smile, I laugh, I get things done,

The world sees light, not what's begun to quietly splinter deep inside,

Where even truth and tears must hide.

No heart was broken, yet I bleed.

No voice was lost, yet I still plead.

Years have passed, and still I pine

For someone my eyes are blind

I am whole, I am complete, I am enough Still, some nights feel strangely rough. Not lonely, not unloved, not wrong, just a soft ache that lingers long.

Maybe it's just the weight I bear, Of  being strong, of always there.

Of showing up, of standing tall,

And wondering who catches me at all.

I am tired, I am light, I am pain, I am free, I am happy, and not—both living in me. So, what's wrong, you ask? Maybe nothing at all…

Just a soul that's learning how to fall.

And rise.

Again.

Still whole.

Still wise.
