Eileen Manassian Poet Iambic Pentameter

Notes About The Poem

The Vow of Silence

Your vow of silence one day you will break
You’ll come to know you’ve made a grave mistake
The love I gave you, why did you forsake?
There’s nothing left in me for you to take

For this is true and this you must confess
Not one gave more to you in tenderness
No other one on earth could love as I
I’m left here all alone to wonder why

I’m silent now, as silent as the grave
What’s left of wounded heart, you cannot save
So mourn for me and love you never gave
With mortal wound I stand, silent and brave.

Laura Breidenthal January 13, 2016 at 2:07 PM The last line convinces me that you do not break under the pressure and pain. You stand tall and brave, able to express your feelings, despite the pain of silence and coldness. beautiful verse, expressing the pangs of the soul. Always, Laura

Funom Makama January 12, 2016 at 8:56 AM Classic, intelligent, sublime and graceful. As usual, yet another excellent piece from you dear poet. Happy new year once again

Bl Devnath January 10, 2016 at 3:12 PM In such time i think it's better to keep silence with patience by pouring strength in heart. Silence is the best policy to over come many difficulties, my friend. i have written a Quote also on it. You have expressed a complicated situation and how we can overcome by being brave. It's nice. 7 is sure i feel. Loved always,bl

Paul Callus January 9, 2016 at 4:53 AM So sad...that sorrow could easily have been softened, even by a single word...Unfortunately, silence often gets broken when it is too late! ~ Hope your princess has brought you sunshine and lots of things to talk about:) Hugs // paul

Richard Lamoureux January 6, 2016 at 7:43 PM To me the silent treatment is the very worst thing to endure. The one good thing is that most women are incapable of remaining silent!
