Silent Cries
The fact that you never listen
The fact that you refuse to hear me
Led to sadness, anger, pain and many sleepless nights
My voice is getting weaker
My attitude worsening with the days
My self-esteem lowering by the minute
The security in you lost
My thoughts totally dismissed
My gestures totally ignored
My dearest Love
Stopped hearing, caring and loving
When you are not around I let the tears flow
I let all my frustrations out
Until my pillow is soaking wet
My face, red as a ripen strawberry
My heart filled with grief
When you are around I do my best to hold back the tears
I know that the moment you see me cry
You will say I am weak
Since I cannot cry
I get outraged
Then I begin to
Hate the woman in the mirror
She looks like a stranger
I do not know her
Nor do I want to know her
All around me people are recognizing the changes in me
And I, can’t see the forest for the trees
This life can’t be mine
I am better than this
I am stronger than this
It seems that I will do anything for Love
Even if it means being silent and angry forever
Finally enough is enough
I would rather die than to live this way
I am leaving and although your plea for me is very convincing
I cannot
Since you made the choice to ignore my silent tears
Since you made the choice to ignore my fears
My silent cries are the reasons I must say good-bye
