Sad fragile heart begins to beat faster, for it knows it’s heading for disaster. Eyes fixed into nothing, softly they stare, wondering why nobody seems to care. Like rustling leaves abandoning the tree, who gave them permission to be set free. Virgin silent tears seep through wrinkled bark, hidden, only when horizons become dark. Evading towards the path known as sorrow, unsure of what could happen tomorrow. When lies become truths, there can be no trust, as broken promises vanish like dust. This sullen demeanour has no fear of death, just the pain it will feel until my last breath. The Silent One Originally written 29 November 2016 Re post 13 January 2019

My biggest fear, is that of being alone. Which I have written about, just not posted yet. This is very emotional and I feel every word, every moment. ~ Brandy

Sad, empty, lonely, despairing...we've all been there at some point in our lives. This poem reaches into the heart and rips away the strings in a way that makes the reader feel your pain. Very powerful.

Silent, like rustling leaves your words touched my heart, the pain felt till the last breath is sadly beautiful, and as has been said often, a poet must suffer to be a good poet and this poem reflects that and of course I like sad poetry, it speaks to my soul, well done ~

How heartfelt you express sorrow. How hurtful it is when it is borne alone without someone to understand.
