My Silence Speaks

This is an earlier video which I forgot to share. I was recording my most viewed poems at the time. This poem had 5,473 views. Here is the link if you want to read the original poem: http://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/my_silence_speaks_633278 Hope you enjoy this little video. I haven't been up to writing much lately, so I thought I'd share an older poem that I've presented on Rhymes of the Times. Thanks for watching: 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

Sometimes silence tells more than a magnum opus but some other times doesn't help! Your poem a marvel dear, Eileen. Explains all and tells all leaving me in silence! A seven!

Who told you about how I handled my miserable marriage, that I became silence itself, no longer caring to understand or be understood, giving up all hopes for joy in our union. Mr. Petulance did not hear the silence so it only mattered to me. I have never tried to express 'this', and here it is, accurately and poetically revealed. Wow, Eileen - you got me ... CayCay

I think is so wonderful, when someone writes a poem that resonates and reaches the soul of another, thats poetry!
