I sit silent in the cold dark night
For I shall never speak again
My desperate cries in the moonlight
Cowardly I drown my sorrows in sin
Love, I will express no more
Pleasures, I will no longer feel
Careless actions closed the door
To what I thought was real
Dreams of heartfelt devotion
Wishes of friends so true
All came to a screeching halt
The day I fell for you
My heart has been shattered
My voice you'll never hear
My bodies bruised and battered
The light is drawing near
My children without their mother
My life now stripped away
All because of your jealous temper
that fateful October day
I write about my life, all of my writings have some truth to them as does this one.
Trust often a breaker, however...I believe that it is possible to meet someone, and it just never becomes a question...each person knows. Perhaps through love, or a strong sense of faith. The children can learn from this, wisdom will not come out of bashing one another...but through a sense of justice that they can be a stronger parent and make different choices when they grow. Excellent poem,
Denise, Wow! This is a very powerful piece, and expertly penned. Well done. Shannon

it's the simplicity and rawness of the words that make this poem poignant. it gives a disturbing yet tangible lump in the throat.it cannot be dismissed as sentimental because the honesty is pure.it leaves one wondering what happens next, wanting to reach out and assure that everything can possibly get better.
