Absolute
The absolute power of words not spoken,
can bring down even the strongest of men.
You find the words take hold,
despite the silence that accompanies it.
He doesn't need to say anything,
because you already know.
The pain that exudes from his eyes,
tells you everything he feels.
It is not about right or wrong,
or even the way he curls his smile.
It is the power of being,
the better part of someone when they fall short.
When he finds his courage again,
you hope that he will extend it to you.
To be that light in your world,
when everything casts shadows.
When you try to give someone,
a part of your soul.
You know that,
you're ready to believe again.
can bring down even the strongest of men.
