Power of Silence

You cannot break me for I am already broken.
My Silence is powerful it is now my chosen token.

The verbal abuse you array at me before all.
Only shows you how weak you are and how small.

My back is turned as I Walk away from your diatribe.
Only illuminates the real pain you hide inside. 

My heart breaks for you as you cannot see
How extraordinary special you are to all you meet.

Your darkest days of pain lie ahead
Bringing forth loneliness that you so dread.

So, my lovely friend, my mate, my love of my life.
I will come back to comfort you during your internal strife. 

I will sit beside you and say nothing but just to be there.
Holding all your tears in my heart for I truly do care.

Now my love you truly understand how I feel.
My silence is still powerful for it can heal.
