Silence (a Poem From The Heart) by Bamibor: 12:20pm On Nov 24, 2015 |
Silence, you are not a good friend. I give you my doubts and fears to mend And you make me your prisoner. »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» Yet when I oft would opt to speak, There are no listening ears near to pick. So I am lone with you silence. »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» Silence, you have a real bad side. I give you my pains and tears to hide And my heart’s turned to a cauldron. »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» Yet when I did let my eyes leak, They pelted me, saying I was weak. Then I recoiled into silence. »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» Silence, you play me like a fool I choose to leave the matter with you And I am left to clean the mess. »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» Yet when I call wrongs to account, They accuse me of seeking to haunt And I’m pushed to live in silence. »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» Silence, you are a heavy stone. See the weight I have to bear alone, Of cares and needs I would not share »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» Yet I fear, no shoulders are free, That’d gladly bear the burdens with me. So sadly, I strain in silence. »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» Silence you’ll be my alibi, While I take solace in the divine, For things I cannot do or tell. »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» Perhaps I’ll find one warm and wise, Who would listen well and not despise, Then I’ll leave this shell of silence. »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» NB: Have you ever had those times when the only way you could deal with what you were going through, was by enduring the easy, yet weighty escape of silence? I sure have had those myself. There really is nothing as beautiful as having a loving, caring and wise heart that is not yours, to pour your cares into. I do hope you find one soon, if haven't any yet. Cheers!!! 2 Likes |
