Suffering In Silence

Beautiful poem =]

Cindy you have once again written from your heart and put to verse the great heartache and loss you feel everyday since John died. A beautifully sad write.....

"Nights drag on forever
No shelter from the cold
Needing warmth from your arms
As I sit here growing old"

^What a sad ending.....full of your tears...nicely written....Love, Debbie

What a beautiful poem, I love it. It's like I've wroten it myself, thinking about how I feel after my mum sadly past away.

Keep on writing! :)

Aww cindy my dear your poems are so emotional and could make the toughest of people shed a tear, all the best to you my dear xox sam

Suffering In Silence
^^^
Cindy this title just breaks my heart. Though I don't know the exact feelings you have ... I know of some similar and the feeling that crushes our heart sometimes feels unbearable my friend.

Dreams now have turned to dust
Eyes have cried endless tears
Hopes have died a million deaths
All because your no longer near
^^^
This beginning stanza is heartbreaking. When both our dreams and hopes have been ripped from our very lives we wonder ... why ... and when we don't get an answer .... the tears never cease falling.

Why has life been so cruel
Ripping two souls apart
Leaving one to grieve alone
With a torn and broken heart
^^^^
It is these times that we feel our hearts can
go on no longer. We feel alone and broken. This stanza portrays an image that breaks my heart hun.

Each day painful without you
Just breathing to hold on
Suffering in silence
Nothing left since your gone
^^^^
The second line caught my breath and simply stole it away.
It is in these times that even breathing is difficult because we feel each and every breath like a dagger in our hearts.

Nights drag on forever
No shelter from the cold
Needing warmth from your arms
As I sit here growing old
^^^
I feel the impact of your pain in this last stanza dear heart.
You have taken the feelings from your beating heart and created a verse that not only tears at the reader's heart but makes one really think about the one's they love .... and it reminds one to tell their loved ones how much they really love them while they still can.
I know how difficult this must of been for you to write my dear friend but you have managed in your own unique way to send a little message to others within the lines of this piece.
Love ya my friend
