A Deadly Silent Cry

One night I was awakened by a loud cry,
which I think came from my own inside. 
When I opened my eyes,
I found myself in a deserted land,
wandering alone around,
in search of what which I could never find.
I looked at my hand to find your hand ,
but I found nothing ,
other than the ashes of the sand.
I looked around to find something,
but I found nothing,
other then the weeping land ,
unable to shed tears so sad.
I tried to hear something ,
but I heard nothing,
other than screaming wind,
and turning into ghostly dusty devil behind.
And when I moved forward 
and looked backward,
I found the land behind 
me turning red,
with bloody footsteps of mine,
injured by the thrones of your 
memories from inside.
I tried to shout aloud , cry aloud
from within my soul,
to ask Why? you made me play this role,
but nobody could ever hear my sound,
even if I cry aloud, 
because this sense of loss 
has silenced me forever ,
from which I could recover,
never ever in my life,
and the only thing left with me,
is the silent cry,
nothing else only a silent cry
which you could never hear
even if you try.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
