Along This Silent Path I Do Walk

Tears streaming down my cheeks
With wind whispers on my neck
His last words touch my ears
Over life he casts a snare
His dying wish
I do hear...

With sorrow and despair
Holding in silent screams
That will turn
To silent tears....

Among the star filled skies
In the middle of the moonlight
Out comes silhouette
For among the shadows he will be
Am I the person who is constantly hurting?
I try hard to be someone else
Someone who is aware of how I felt
The heart that beats
Is bittersweet
So release me from your memory....

As I walk this silent path...

Brooke

So great a write. I have walked that road myself in the distant past! You captured in words (great words) a silent pain and time many of us have unfortunately had to endure.. "Live to love another blessed day life is short and hope is the way"

Deep is the pain seated in a soul whose path is shadowed by memories that bring sorrow... The heart cries to be free. The mind is stifled with out light to show direction... PR This poem speaks inspiration and pain on a level that touches my heart... PR

Such sorrowful words. Very well written. I love the ending "release me from your memory" Sometimes it is not enough for us to let go, they have to release us too.
