I wish I could tell you what you've done wrong But there'd be no point You'd explain it all away and say, "Fight, Babe Fight another day. Battle scars come and go This you should know It's part of the game fight another day." I wish I could tell you What you didn't do That was wrong too The hurt, it's just the same I know, it's love's silly game I'm done playing You were terribly wrong I can't be strong I got no fight left For another day So, hey! Wish I could tell you... But, then again My silence will let you know I see it all What you hide inside Wounded pride You lied I cried But if I tell you All you'd do is deny So...let my silence speak Thought you're strong, but you're weak Fight another day... Fight another day... Fighting days are through Yes, through for me and you I have no words...no words left So...I'll let my silence speak! Eileen Manassian

Silence lets us hear more clearly the needs of our hearts...sometimes its better not to guess what a heart wants, sometimes best not to rush undetstanding of why a heart does what does. I truly appreciate the street and cogent style of this write Eileen. I'm hooked on your vivid emotions...J.A.B.

Thank you, Emile. I am quite transparent in my writes. It's the only way I know how to be. I'm glad to have your visit.

A silence louder than words. I find that a very interesting topic for contemplation. I will be thinking of this poem for some time, I believe.

Wow, no need for silence, there's power in the written word! In a relationship, though, silence is the kiss of death. When the person doesn't care enough to fight, it's time to move on...hugs, Rhonda

Yes, you are right. When you don't care to fight...it is time to move on. One of my favorite songs is the one by Michael Bolton: "A Time for Letting GO." Thanks for the visit, dear. Hugs

Silence can be deadly...In my opinion it is the strongest form of disappointment in a person you love/loved....hugs Tim

Boy Howdy, I can hear the silence and I am hearing impaired . . . once again, your words amaze me . . . I believe that only in silence can deep words be heard . . . a fav and 7 from me.

Of all things I hate the silent treatment the worst. I figure if someone shuts me out they weren't much of a friend to begin with.

Eileen Manassian

Well, I understand your point, Richard. I'm all for talking things out. However, there are times when talking just doesn't help. If the other part is never able to admit there is a problem...if he rationalizes things away, if he says that it is due to oversensitivity...what's the point of talking it out? It won't get anywhere. I'm glad we have open communication... :) Hugs to you, my dear.

Love this expressive poem, Eileen. When all is said and done, it is silence that has the last say. // paul

It's a strange thing to say but I agree silence can 'say' more than the spoken word - Whether this is a factual or fictional write it just proves relationships aren't easy are they! Hugs Jan 7 from me:-)

No...they sure aren't, Jan. They take lots of hard work, dedication, and....unconditional love. Who has all that? ;) Hugs, my dear.

Silence is the death of love, Shakespeare tells us. When one loves us, nothing will do wrong. When does wrong then there is no love. Very profound and sentimental poem masterfully written, dear Eileen.

My sweet dear poet. Your visits are always a delight. Yes...to wrong someone to the point of breaking a heart does show a lack of love...thus, it merits silence. Thank you for passing by. Filakia
