Silent Tears Poem by RACHEL ZARANTONELLO

To see him with another now
would be more than she can bear
The only way to continue on
is to never really care.
She's lost more than her heart.
She's lost her good time friend
Does he know how much it hurts
or that she just wants the pain to end?
Each day, as the sun starts to set,
the ache builds in her chest
She knows that she must go to bed
and try to get some rest
Time hasn't healed her pain at all
or taken away her fears
So when she is alone in the shower
she sheds those silent tears.
She hugs her tear stained pillow close
when no one is around
She cries for the one she gave her heart
and screams without a sound
Others see her in the day
and think she is doing well
But everyday as the darkness comes
she enters her own private hell
She waits for everyone to go to sleep
before she falls apart
How long can she take this pain?
He was worth it from the start.
