Silent Screams
I remember exactly the day we met
The most beautiful day of my life
I will never forget
Yet there is a question that still puzzles me
How can I go on living happily?
Not afraid of today but the day you left
As I watched you walk away, my heart melted as I wept
My chest ached as I lay in my empty bed
I must’ve cried so many times, the blood vessels burst in my head
My knees were so weak, and I couldn’t walk
My mouth was so dry, I couldn’t talk
My eyes burned like charcoal until the sockets dried
I was hurting deeply inside, I could’ve died
For love is so beautiful, with its blessed charms
How quickly it entrapped me, with its embracing arms
How sadly it turned deadly, until one person was harmed
I will never know why we were torn apart in my mind as well as my heart
However, at some point you cast me aside
The overflow of my emotions made me run and hide
I invested my time at a low-cost interest
I was shunned by someone so very selfish
Puppeteering my heart’s strings is what made you elfish
I promised you my love, then you deceived me
I wore my heart on my sleeve, and you still didn’t believe me
My love is so simple and pure I look to you for validation,
but I’m not received any more
All these months have been in vain
How can you smile while I go insane?
How can you give of yourself so freely and I still abstain?
How I want to express my anger, but I must refrain
I know in time I will love again
In a perfect world we could all be friends
I will cry no more and this is where the story ends
