Silent Tears

Silent tears slide down my face

No one there to embrace

Alone in the darkness, I cry out

No one hears my screams and shouts

These silent tears cannot be heard

I try to speak but not a word

They flow without sound

I look but comfort cannot be found

No one around to dry my eyes

Nor to hear my silent cries

Here I am, left alone

To overcome on my own

Silent tears fall down my face

My broken heart so out of place

Back and forth my body sways

These silent cries drive the world away

Silent tears slide down my face

No one there to embrace

So sad, so evocative, splendid words that reach out and into the heart of the reader. Lovely writing.

I totally know the feelings in all you have displayed. The feeling of no one there hurts at times. It is funny how many things change how people come and go yet one is left standing in a wind and must face it all head on. I picked this because it spoke to me.

Sad poetic reflection of how lonesome heartache takes hold. However, a broken heart doesn't make you unlovable. At this moment in time, you are healing. But remind yourself to be open when love presents itself again. :-)

It's pretty good . It's basic, simple, but good. Oh how I wonder just how dark you lonely heart will make you.

I've felt this way on rare occasions, though I tend to just bottle up my emotions most of the time. I love the rhyme scheme, it's simple but quite good.

You should write more poetry, maybe focus a bit on more vague poems that lend themselves to interpretation. I think you would do well with that.

Another good poem, Crumbsy. :)

Thank you! I always struggle with poetry that's why I don't write it often. I feel like I have to think too much. Lol

This aches my heart and I'm very much familiar with this feeling... This is written in a very powerful way and describes the pain a person go through and in that moment the person has no one listen to his/her words of pain, no one to feel his/her pain... This is absolutely beautifully done and it reached the reader's heart deeply...

Sincerely

This is wonderful in painting a picture; one that I'm sure we've all lived through before. Good work, Lilly!

[Lorry]

Beautifully written piece, capturing the emotions of feeling like if you screamed no one would hear, while fearful that the scream if started might never end. I felt your words hit me like an echo of a not so distant yesterday. Thank you for sharing.
