Silent Cries

The fact that you never listen The fact that you refuse to hear me Led to sadness, anger, pain and many sleepless nights My voice is getting weaker My attitude worsening with the days My self-esteem lowering by the minute The security in you lost My thoughts totally dismissed My gestures totally ignored My dearest Love Stopped hearing, caring and loving When you are not around I let the tears flow I let all my frustrations out Until my pillow is soaking wet My face, red as a ripen strawberry My heart filled with grief When you are around I do my best to hold back the tears I know that the moment you see me cry You will say I am weak Since I cannot cry I get outraged Then I begin to Hate the woman in the mirror She looks like a stranger I do not know her Nor do I want to know her All around me people are recognizing the changes in me And I, can’t see the forest for the trees This life can’t be mine I am better than this I am stronger than this It seems that I will do anything for Love Even if it means being silent and angry forever Finally enough is enough I would rather die than to live this way I am leaving and although your plea for me is very convincing I cannot Since you made the choice to ignore my silent tears Since you made the choice to ignore my fears My silent cries are the reasons I must say good-bye
