Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Free verse

- Lonely Screams of Pain -

Listen to the silence
                 the silent ... nothing
                 language-independent word

                 Silent screams of pain
                 loneliness that is currently
                 and loneliness luggage tomorrow

                 Slowly creeps into darkness
                 shadows as an eternal companion
                 The total feeling of emptiness, disappointment and sorrow

                 A longing for tenderness, touch and love
                 The butterflies are gone ... they've flown their way
                 Left me here alone - abandoned the covenant of love

                 Tears fall like silent thunder
                 Loneliness and fear behind the mask
                 The mask falls when the tears come

                 The silence of tears and sorrow
                 Swollen, teary and red eyes
                 Trying to catch a ray of angelic light

Leah Seilheimer September 24, 2014 at 2:24 PM Beautiful written and very strong emotions, I think my favorite part about your write is the mask comes off with the tears, I know that hiding feeling all to well... I try so hard to mask it but it's something that no matter how hard you try it reveals itself to you. Very beautiful.
