Silence Must Have Reasons

Was I that distant memory
You have decided to erase
Discarded and wiped away
Much like a passing phase

Had I become the chapters
Placed on forgotten pages
Have I been put in the past
As another of those stages

Had it brought you pleasure
Severing every heart thread
Have I just been obliterated
As you continued on ahead

Had I meant nothing to you
Over nine years of seasons
Had you been planning this
Silence must have reasons

The problem with silence is that it leaves so many unanswered questions...My heart goes out to you, Hope...I pray you will have an end to the silence and you heart be whole again...*big big hugs*

Tugs at the heartstrings this does Hope.
Very well written piece. Chris

silence is a thing which to me is cruel...but then, perhaps this is the only way this person knows how to handle it...

a thought provoking poem, sad, but questions so much...

The pain in your words jumps out and me and touches me.  
Silence can be deafning.

HopeS...Silence can be a terrible thing.
People should at least say something even if it's goodbye, then at least we know.
Stay strong. Thanks for sharing...Paul
