Silence

You stand there
Ranting, raving,
Fist clenching.

As I lay here
Weeping, broken,
Knowing, when to be silent.

Your menacing, dark eyes
Glaring, radiating,
Hot anger, burning my eyes.

My frozen eyes,
Defrosting tears
Upon my broken body.

My heart beating wildly,
Sending life's blood
Throughout, my ice cold veins.

I lay here watching,
Hoping, praying,
Feeling relief.

Your menacing, dark eyes
Glance defiantly,
As your ignorant ass
Walks out the door.


Ellen

Only to wind up asking ourselves why should we care!  That's the tricky part.

Enjoyed your first post.

Midnitesun, Thanks for responding, that door and that part of my life remains closed. A person can only take so much and I took more than my share.

Silence does weigh heavy...
Welcome to Passions, Ellen!

If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound

Welcome to passions, Ellen. This touches my heart. Please remember one thing! You don't have to put up with this kind of treatment. And, if for some reason you can't leave, there is help out there.

Silence is golden and welcomed after one such as he is gone...
Let him remain outside
Welcome, dear lady Ellen
hugs, Cher

Poetry is:
Passion, imagination and intellect running together.

Susan Caldwell, Thanks for your reply

Do you mean it sounds familiar because you read it before , or from the content of the poem? I had this posted in another poetry forum. Thanks for reading
