I am still haunted by what once was
Reaching out only to find emptiness
The constant silence ever present
Moves in like hollow shadows
An empty silence within me
Longing to be filled
Longing to be filled
My thoughts…
Where once was hope…now quiet resignation
and defeat.
No clichés uttered of gaining strength
From the experiences of failure
And of loss
Of forgetting and moving on
I am not hiding behind my sadness
I live that sadness
I still cannot find the words
To express my feelings with depth
And if I could
What difference would they make?
It would be an exercise in futility
It would be an exercise in futility
All has changed now
You stopped listening
You stopped listening
Nothing will ever be the same
The happiness I felt, though transient
Has been taken from me…

Powerful words Dianne, and thought provoing too x
ReplyDeletethat is a nice poem but a bit depressing..is everything all right dear?
ReplyDeleteYes, dear Leovi , it would be interesting, I suspect the silence would come in waves and be evident by the lack of any sound at all.

Thank you dear Laura for your kind words.
ReplyDeleteYes a little silence gives us some time to think, some clarity but not good when we are hoping to hear from someone and it doesn't happen.

Boa noite, feliz pelo seu regresso, por vezes temos que optar pelo silencio, este é necessário para nos reconciliarmos com o nosso interior, afim de podermos continuar a ultrapassar o que a vida nos dá.

Estimado Juan , gracias por tus hermosas palabras. Sí, la vida es corta, demasiado corta para esperar lo imposible, y aunque nos gustaría esperar algunos sueños se hagan realidad, no lo harán ... pero aún así, me duele.
