In Silence

 

 

If I follow my heart and it shatters,

shards of emotion strewn about carelessly

as if its owner fell short of protecting its worth,

would you look upon it as such?

 

If I stumble in my time of despair,

blinded by my season of darkened skies,

would you carry me

and set light to the path I was meant to take?

 

If I called you hero, for all the compassion you have given me,

would you know its value

or has this title become so cliché

that you wouldn’t feel the depth of its meaning?

 

If I searched for the one word

that would make you understand just how much you mean to me,

would you wait patiently, by my side

until the word could be spoken?  

 

If I failed to speak any words at all,

would you hear ~ in  silence

the language of a once shattered heart

saying I love you?

This is beautiful, and the path shall always be lit for a soul such as yours. I know for a lot of people, this "season of darkened skies" can be pain provoking, and intoxicationg to the point they can't avoid the hurt anymore, but you will always have a friend by your side...

Lovely write, thank you for sharing =)

Wow! Such an honest outpouring of emotion. This is Remarkably Outstanding! I was drawn into deeper and deeper as I read each line. I'm rather speechless. Outstanding!

[Alex Caine]

This is a fantastic piece. You've conveyed so much emotion and managed to make the reader feel exactly what you do. The fourth stanza is my favorite; probably because it has a lot of significance for me and my life. Thanks for sharing this, I really like it :)

Oh how I could feel the emotion in this and relate I would say 90%... such sad undertones as you search for someone who may understand you .. this could be directed at a friend or love in life... finding that person who truly understands you it seems is like an almost impossible task partially because so many do not take the time to even glance let alone get that deep. It's been to me a long time since anyone has known me that well ... you really have to spend alot of time with someone to get that close. You also sound like you don't assign words of high stature like Hero to just anybody.. would they know the importance if you did say that.. I ponder that one too.. do people really take words seriously and in depth? Sometimes yes if they are sensitive or really care about you I think. Your writing sure got me thinking in many ways.. thank you for sharing and I hope this person understands how much you care and want to have that higher meaning with indepth feeling... =)

Wonderful, I love the flow and the feeling of this; it is very soulful and meaningful and what is even better is that they ring true, not the falsness of some writers that can turn a pretty phrase without any meaning, connection or understanding behind them but with the truth of one who has lived and breathed this very moment and let it touch their soul. Absolutely beautiful.
