If Silence Could Speak Poem by Barry Middleton

If Silence Could Speak

Rating: 5.0


if silence could speak
then you would know

a mute and clumsy pause
speaks more than words

in those dumb times
I don't know what to say

if I could utter words
I'd say I know your grief

I'd say I've felt that pain
I've felt that loneliness

I too lost everything
all that was my anything

and when you look at me
with brown and pensive eyes

and if you too could speak
you'd ask if that were true

So sensitive the perception to show that words can not explain the unthinkable, the unexpected, that which could deprive you from your loving person or even things sometime....

If i could.....so many of us live through this. What if i had done or said that, things might have been different. In love, we lose a lot. A lovely depiction of pain that love brings. A10
