I kept your name
In a drawer of dust
Folded with the things
I could not say
The room stayed still
Like it knew my part
Every unsaid wound
Wore my handwriting
I never threw it out
I just moved it deeper
Past the bills, past the keys
Past the good behavior
Filed under silence
That is where it lives
Filed under silence
All the hurt I hid
Low in the dark
Where I can’t reach it
Filed under silence
That is where it lives
Your last hard words
Sat in the frame
Next to a glass
With a cracked rim
I learned to smile
With my jaw locked tight
Like a locked-up file
That still knows my pulse
I never threw it out
I just kept it quiet
Name by name, night by night
I carried it
Filed under silence
That is where it lives
Filed under silence
All the hurt I hid
Low in the dark
Where I can’t reach it
Filed under silence
That is where it lives
If I open it now
What spills out first
Your missing apology
Or my own undone grief
Filed under silence
That is where it lives
Filed under silence
All the hurt I hid
Low in the dark
Where I can’t reach it
Filed under silence
That is where it lives

Nothing Was Resolved
Belsa Omit
Belsa Omit's debut album, Marked as Closed, is a quiet reckoning with emotions others chose to treat as finished. Through cold minimal pop, she gathers the unspoken apologies, dismissed wounds, and unnamed discomforts no one ever wrote down
