You cannot hear me even when I am silent

You cannot hear me even when I am silent

A Poem by Myrtice J. Edwards
"

This poem is about a cheating spouse

"

You cannot hear me even when I am silent

 

You cannot hear my unreleased tears

You have no idea what lie in the deepest part of my heart

Your anger becomes free and my suffering forever shackled

I long to be free of my suffering but no one understands me

Disappointment seems enlarged yet my words I dare not utter

For it may cause a storm

I grit my teeth to keep the peace

While the water floods my issues

I compartmentalize my issues and sweep them under a rug and hopefully no one will move this shabby old piece of rug

Else I’ll have to face the hurricane again

Why do I continue to love someone whose actions and reactions to what love is, is not reciprocal?

You don’t love me anymore

You’re not sorry for hurting me and running my life

You’re just sorry you got caught is all

You stay out late at night yet you have a million excuses why you do what you do

How did I end up loving someone who don’t love me?

You tell me I am insecure and need some counseling, for what?

To try and convince me that your lies are really true?

Damn, what ever happen to you?

Is your self-esteem so low that you can’t believe I love you so?

I guess you will never know because you cannot hear me when I am silent or my unreleased tears and what lies in the deepest part of my heart.

You have some powerful words there... it hard to understand how we can put up with someone who treats us so bad...

I guess you will never know because you cannot hear me when I am silent or my unreleased tears and what lies in the deepest part of my heart.

really love these lines the perfect dramatic end to this piece.
