The Withering Reed
Can't say it, so you quietly dry out
Your landmines: "neglect" and "cold words." But stepped on, you say nothing and wither.
You're actually lonely, yet you swallow it to avoid making waves. The patience piles up until, one day, your feelings dry out completely. Ahead: the true nature of your 'can't-say-it,' the withering signs your partner can't notice, and how to water yourself before you dry up.
