Silent Scream

Some things should never be left unexpressed.

 

Sitting at the table

Staring into your deep blue eyes

I wonder if I am allowed to say it.

 

The words used to come naturally

But now I am not sure

If they are appropriate.

 

My throat hurts with the suppressed need

To tell you

But I dare not say the words.

 

Sadness creeps onto your face

And I wonder

Do you feel the same?

 

You shut the pain away

And giving me one last stare

You turn around and leave.

 

I close my eyes

Against the flood of tears

A silent scream

 

I love you

Some words are hard to say. Better to look a fool then wishing to say something. A excellent poem. Could feel the struggle to communicate and the close minds in your words.

A powerful and well written poem, a pleasure to read your poetry.

You are so right, some things should never be left 'unexpressed" you never know what could happen. This is dripping with emotion, saddness, love, "silent screams", it's very well done. Congrats!

I actually think that the last 4 lines, which are the simplest ones, are the most powerful.

I agreed with Melanie, this was very touching , it had a lot of emotion to it, this is an excellent poem. Iam looking foward to reading more of your work. Orlando Murcia

I really liked this and how it showed a supression so well and really told a small story with a good build up, very good write.
