Silent Pain Pain, confusion, wondering why Tears of pain cried in the night Hold you close while you sleep No walls to stop me, wispers go deep Morning greetings, well wishings for the day Knowing exactly where this day you'll play Holding back the screams of pain Useless, only cause fights and disdane Can't look anymore, my eyes see too much Block it all out, the scents and such The time spent away, Never ask why For I already know the truth To hear you say it, I would surely die Walls go up for survival sake Knowing time will take care of fate Promotions at work, work myself to the bone Not for the company So I can sleep when I return home Whats this, I see you looking at me I wonder what your thinking, what you see Why now...Whats different...Have I changed somehow Do I seem more interesting now No more tears or swollen eyes Have I learned no matter what I can survive Is this what you see in me now Independant like I once was, grown up, How? Independance maybe, more like guts Survival in this silent war and not go nuts Hardest thing I've ever been through All the while you thinking I never knew I'll never understand I'll never know why But the scents are gone At night I don't cry By Connie McDonald Copyright@2001 May 19, 2001 [This message has been edited by Zinsser (edited 06-19-2001).] |

Can't look anymore, my eyes see too much Block it all out, the scents and such ================= A touching poem.......... At times, we see just too too much and we'd wish for a lesser vision or insight. Thank you ******************* It's only me.......only me |

...the silence of your pain screams out in your words...I oft wonder which is the worse...believing or not believing...this speaks volumes... |

Ouch. I understand and empathize as well as sympathize through my own experience. I find some solace in the concept: "Focus on the details; the Big Picture will take care of itself"... -MVS "When you tell the Truth, you never have to remember what you just said." |
