Silent Hearts Poem by Karen TeichCluster

This conversations' killing me.
Your silent heart says it all.
It begins to rain as you walk away;
If you looked at me now would you see my tears?

Your footsteps echo long after you're gone;
I sit by the window, cold,
Tracing broken hearts on frozen panes.
The sun begins to rise,
And I dream of days gone by.

My heart still calls to you.
The time passes, no longer standing still.
The wind blows gently,
Carrying forgotten promises down empty roads.

I wave good-bye, but no one sees.
Listen closely:
Silent hearts speak forever.
