I wore your name like second skin,
A hush beneath the storm within.
You never asked me to belong,
But I did anyway—too loud, too long.

You spoke in echoes, soft and far,
While I learned every silent scar.
You built no house, but I came home
To hands that never felt like my own.

And I broke myself in quiet ways,
Spilled out like dusk on brighter days.
You never held, but I still stayed—
A shadow you forgot to name.
Now there’s salt in the shape of you
In every tear I never meant to lose.

You lit a match and watched me glow,
Said nothing… but it felt like “go.”
I begged the stars to make me less—
Too much heart, too little flesh.

You kissed like something you’d regret,
A promise wrapped in a silhouette.
I bled in poems you won’t read—
Love letters stitched in quiet need.

And I broke myself in quiet ways,
Spilled out like dusk on brighter days.
You never held, but I still stayed—
A shadow you forgot to name.
Now there’s salt in the shape of you
In every tear I never meant to lose.

I carved your silence into song,
Hummed it soft but held it wrong.
You were the dream I couldn’t wake—
A ghost too warm to call a mistake.

And I broke myself to feel you near,
Traced your absence year by year.
You didn’t ask—but I still gave
The parts I swore I’d always save.
Now I’m salt in the shape of you,
And I don’t know what’s left of me to lose.

Salt in the Shape of You

There’s something magical about discovering new music — it moves me, inspires me, and makes life feel richer. I think that love comes from years of playing instruments. When you’ve felt the soul behind every note, you hear music differently. It’s not just sound, it’s emotion, creativity, and connection. Every new song feels like a new story waiting to be felt — and I love that.
