Love Poem: Silence

Silence

Silence is not golden
When it comes to the heart
The only thing you get rewarded
Is the agony you receive
As you're being torn apart
And the regrets you feel
When you're alone in the dark
The wounds that just won't heal
They never leave your heart
The time it steals
You look back one day to see how much
You then realize you've seemed to have lost touch
With all you'd known
And the person you once were
You come to see the words you couldn't say
Has made you this way
Now you have to live with that day after lonely day
And those words well they're stuck with you in the silence
They are there along with the tears you cry
Through it all they will remain
With the darkness and the pain
What you took for granted
The love you took in vain
Without even knowing
Silence can rob you of so many things
So that you pillow is all you have in which to cling
You write your words out that drift around in your head
Cause at least that way they are being said
Silence has no gratitude
Keeps you locked away inside of solitude
Alone with your fears
Not to mention the endless nights of tears
And then the thoughts of all the wasted years
All silence needs is to be broken
Or so much of your life will be stolen
Time is divine
Losing it quietly is a tragedy, it's a crime
Silence can and will drive you out of your mind
Your soul is what you'll search frantically to find
When I found it I knew just what I had to do
I was silent no longer 
I had to stand for once being stronger
Then ever before
I felt my time was due                                                                                                    
To scream to the world
Just how much I'm in love with you
