The silence speaks but I do not hear
I don't want to listen to its words of fear
The silence speaks but I do not hear
For it may tell me the one thing I do fear

The silence speaks with words that can harm
Where once it always spoke with words that charmed
The silence speaks with words that can harm
But now the words that are spoken cause me great alarm

The silence speaks only in my mind
It hides from me the answers I seek to find
The silence speaks only in my mind
And takes my heart and puts it in a bind

The silence speaks, but oh my love not you
You've left me hurt, confused, unsure of what to do
The silence speaks, but oh my love not you
Speak to me my love, and please tell me true

This is an excellent piece, silence is the best as well as the worst advice giver.  Listen carefully.

Sven my kindred brother, I hope the silence turns to words you long to hear.  I hope she hears your plea... *hugs*  

 At last I have heard the song of enlightenment.... In your heart you can hear it now, if you listen....
It is the song your spirit has been singing since the moment of your birth. All lasting victories are won in the heart....

Sven, it is what they don't say isn't it.
But I have been listening to this silence also.
A great post my friend.
Joel.

 I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

Very touching poem, Sven.  It does indeed say it all.  I hope she hears those words soon...for her sake.  Such a heartfelt plea...how could it be resisted?

Excellent writing, my friend.

Sometimes we need the silence. My good friend is one person who just needs a hug and no speeking when she's upset.

It is hard to "hear" the silence, it often tells us the opposite of what we want to hear....or at least in my own experiance
