Tonight my solitude envelops me. When silence should manifest serenity, But stillness compels me to search inside To find endless tears I never cried. Pushed down, held back, deep within- Forget all emotions and commit my sin. Allow my heart to grow cold and hard, And sensibly place all thoughts on guard. No point in reflection; the past is gone, In this cold nights stillness I will go on Supplying my mind with futile frivolity With hope that numbness shall set me free. But in one single moment I recognize, It is the heart which woefully dies. With failure to face the emotion within, The mind commits but the cruelest sin. |

Good write. But don't be so hard on yourself. Live the pain, go through it and overcome it. The sun will shine again. Love, Margherita |

To acknowledge that which we hold so deeply hidden, is honesty at its best... You do have a way...I'm going to enjoy your writings... |

But stillness compels me to search inside To find endless tears I never cried. These two lines nearly made me cry... Great work, thanx for sharing... |

Patricia, this poem really touches me. I relate to it very much. If it is concerning yourself, I know that it must have been hard to write. Even though the poem is sad, you wrote it beautifully. Heart Hugs,  Ethel |

Great write ~hugs~...I don't really know what to say...But I enjoyed the read....very powerful I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |

Enjoyed...reminds me of times I wanted to cry and couldn't or times I was crying to much and was begging to stop...we can only handle so much pain on a given day so sometimes we manage to put it away for future comsumption...James |
