Silence

Whispering winds Screaming in my ear Shouting silent truths Of things I don’t Want to hear Closing my eyes So I can see Your beautiful face Looking through me Running away Into the sea Against the current It’s easy for you But not for me Reaching out And holding on Why can’t you see me? I’m not that strong Silence is deafening This is true Silence is better For you and fianlly for me

interesting write with the oft happened ending of silence....and the moral usually is "be careful what you wish for you may get it!" Light & Love

Unrequited love is hard but most of the time it is only the fantasy of love and not true love...However, great expression of those feelings...Keep the creative pen flowing...Sara
