Silent Tears

drifting in and out of dreams
as elusive as this all seems
moving in and out of time
with only fantasy to remind

touching a face that isn't real
a broken heart that doesn't heal
memories quickly fade away
leaving thoughts of yesterday

afloat on a thundercloud
a voice that screams out loud
and yet no one can hear
as I cry these silent tears

Very sad. I understand so well how you feel, but you can't keep living in the past, it won't help. You have to find a way back to life and there is always a way. Thanks for sharing. Caroline.
