Deaf Love

She always whispered Loving words to him Words which would Never ever hint Her pains, her angst, Her simmering anger Her holding back And, maybe, all her worries She just wanted to please Please him always He desperately wanted her To ‘carry’ Little knowing What she actually carried? For him Her glowing And smiling face Would be the message Message of unflinching dedication Perennial devotion For him She was the one Never ‘A lady’ But The lady of his dreams Alas! There was something missing The sound waves..... She had always convinced him ‘No problems, It’s always heart to heart’ He also never felt His loss of hearing Played a part The love between the two Was never the proverbial Blind love But worse than that Deaf love- Literally and figuratively
