Deafening Silence

EVERY DAY I CRY EVERY NIGHT I PRAY FOR THE STRENGTH I NEED TO SURVIVE ANOTHER DAY MY DREAMS ARE HAUNTED BY MY MEMORIES OF YOU EVEN IF I COULD THESE MEMORIES I'D NEVER UNDO IN MY DREAMS I BEG AND I PLEAD LEFT THERE CRIPPLED DOWN ON MY KNEES WITH A VACANT EXPRESSION IN MY EYES YOU STARE INTO MY SOUL MY NOW ABYSS FULL OF DISPAIR I'VE WONDERED AND SEARCHED AND PONDERED THE REASONS CONFIDED IN STRANGERS EVEN FOUND RELIGION WHILE FACING MY DEMONS I'VE RESORTED TO INSOMNIA DAY AFTER DAY FEELING NUMB TO THE POWER OF MY ADDICTION I WILLINGLY SUCCUMB JUST TO HEAR YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME I'D ENDURE TORTURE AND PAIN FOR THE RUSH OF FEELING YOUR EMBRACE IS LIKE HEROIN IN MY VEINS THAT'S ALL I CRAVE THOSE SWEET WORDS LAID UPON MY EARS BUT YOUR DEFEANENING SILENCE BRINGS ME TO TEARS LIKE SILENT THUNDER RIPPING ME APART WITH YOUR UNSPOKEN WORDS YOU'VE SHATTERED MY HEART

Valerie you are the epitome of that sad tortured poet, desperately expressing to the world your pain, but believing your words are falling on deaf ears... Well I hear it and I feel the despondence and the passion in your words....The one with the heavy heart indeed, Good Job! MC

Hello Valerie, like silent thunder you exposed your emotions in a very sad and hurtful way. I hate thinking of you like this all broke and shattered... and you are right it is like heroin through the vain. your poem is perfect and deep.... always & forever *LINDA
