Silence Listens

The pain in his face spoke loudly
a look of anger and betrayal
    "I'm sorry," tearfully said
A pounding echo rang in his heart
    "Please! Forgive me!"
His eyes slowly lifted, with a deep breath of quiet
She stretched out her trembling hand
    feeling shame
He silently turned and walked away
