Standing In Silence...

0 posted 2003-06-09 09:50 AM

Its official,
She can’t sleep.
The night’s to cruel.
The clock says five,
As she starts to weep.
She hardly feels alive.

She’s struck with realization,
That she’s unable to dream,
And that things…well
Things are as bad as they seem.

She paces her room,
Slowly making a path,
Back and forth in the gloom.
She’s losing the battle day by day,
As she deals with the night’s wrath.
She cannot live her life this way.

She’s struck with realization,
That she’s unable to dream,
And that things…well
Things are as bad as they seem.

There’s nothing to do but stay awake,
She doesn’t even have a choice.
And as her hands begin to shake,
She knows she can’t win.
No reason to rejoice.
And her heart breaks, deep within.

Her world has changed in so many ways,
So many restless days.
Her world has changed in so many ways,
So many restless days.

And ...She’s struck with realization,
That she’s unable to dream,
And that things…well
Things are as bad as they seem.

If You Wanna See A Rainbow, You've Gotta Live Through The Rain. And If You Wanna See Through Love, You've Gotta Live Through The Pain.

That was a great poem.A bit on the dark side, but still very good. You really put a lot of emotion into it, and it shows.:0)

If you listen hard enough silence can mean more than words.

As Toasty said it is a bit gloomy, but that is what really gives this poem meaning. Glad i got to read it and i hope to be able to read more of your work.

Great Job!

P.S. I'm curious to know who this "she" figure is?
