Silenced

About a deep love that hurt beyond words

Silenced

 

Silenced, no words left at all

You've left me no choice, but to catch me as I fall

your words so full of anger, your vengeance undeserved

and I wonder as I'm weeping,

Don't you know how much words hurt??

Names I've never heard, not spoken about me,

I crumble to the ground, what's left, in a heap

How can I let this happen-reduce me to nothing at all?

How can I love this man like this?

It's beyond my control.

Somewhere deep inside of me, I feel her rising up

The woman I was taught to be, proud and strong and tough.

My tearful soul cannot forget the words you spoke today

but I have found the strength I need to turn and walk away.

I look back one last time at you, now you're the one who cry's

You didn't think I'd have the guts to say the word....goodbye.

Silence, that is all you're left with as I close the door behind

I wonder when this time will heal my broken heart and mind.

very powerful words, I can really relate to this poem, unfortunatley! This was very touching and I loved the lines

That summed up the poem for me,, when you get pushed down so hard, us women always find that inner strength, to rise and fight back!! great work..
