Tears and Silence

This is the completion of a poem I wrote a year or so ago called The Tears that Silence Brings. It is my life.

Tears and Silence

Anger, eyes enraged, blame

Such a small thing, sadness

Patience, hope for tomorrow

Tomorrow never comes.

Patience rewarded with rage,

Close your eyes, dream of something more.

Loyalty rewarded with infidelity,

Hurt, silence, and tears.

Don't look, close your eyes

Hope for fools, hide inside

Just a bit of peace,  someday

Tired, so tired.

Sun behind the clouds, lashes wet

Death in your arms, worst day yet

Hope too long, too far gone

Cover me over, stone for my pillow.

Silence unbearable, no end

Eyes dry, tears that never fall

All day is gray, the night dark

No dreams to comfort.

Rope in hand, rafters above

Darkness inside, courage gone

Maybe tomorrow, please, some peace,

Tomorrow never comes.

Sun is bright overhead, eyes are open,

Bright reds, violets, shades are glorious

One beam through the clouds, peace

A smile on the lips, at last.

Dreams are bright, comforting

Waiting, hoping for arms that smile

Long for loyalty, crave the comfort

Eyes blazing, how pleasant her scent.

Night is done, shadows chased away

A new dawn, and new patience

Tears are gone, silence is filled

Tomorrow has finally arrived.

Reviews

I've read quite a few of your poems and didn't wanna comment the same thing over and over again. So here is my review of not only this poem, but most of your other ones:
You have incredible writing skills. More so than most. You write from the heart, and I admire that. You should look into getting it professionally published, this way more people can see this. Your poems leave me speechless, and that's a statement considering I never shut up. I found myself, especially in this poem, with goosebumps all over. You have phenomenal talent! You're definitely someone I'm going to keep a close eye on!

Thank you for the kind words. Hopefully, when I finish the novel that is burning in my brain, others will find the same enjoyment.

I'm sorry you went thru this pain, But it seems it was necessary in order to use it for a tool as you have.
your writing is incredible and I am sure it will help many who can relate.Esp. when it's read by those who do not write, They may have an even more special need to have something to hold onto that lets them know they are not alone and be of comfort as they fight this sorta pain.

Thank you. I didn't see it from that light, but it is a new perspective.
