Listen to poem:

Blind to Her Tears

He thought she smiled when times were tough,
But never saw it wasn’t enough.
He held her hand but never knew
The weight she carried out of view.

Blind to her tears, blind to her cries,
He missed the truth behind her eyes.
The love she gave, the dreams she bled,
Were slipping through the words unsaid.

She whispered soft, her voice grew thin,
But all he gave was what’s within.
His love was there, but eyes were closed,
To all the hurt she never showed.

Blind to her tears, blind to her cries,
He missed the truth behind her eyes.
The love she gave, the dreams she bled,
Were slipping through the words unsaid.

She longed for more, but silence grew,
He couldn’t feel what she lived through.
Her heart was loud, yet fell unheard,
He never caught her quiet words.

Blind to her tears, blind to her cries,
He missed the truth behind her eyes.
The love she gave, the dreams she bled,
Were slipping through the words unsaid.
