Silent Cry

For you this poem I write,
Sat on my own, lost in the distant night.

I would give you my body to take away your pain,
It’s my own selfish approach to feel no more shame.

The anger I hold for myself sleeps within my eyes,
It echo’s my thoughts and dampens my cries.

It took me by my vulnerable and awaiting hand,
And led me to a distant and far away land.

Iv watched my world from behind my fears,
Now my soul and senses are bringing me to tears.

In the hidden depth of my soul hides my pain,
Thriving for it to leave my body to be washed away by the rain.

I lived my life for you but now you've gone,
At least our memories have given me strength to go on.
