Dead Silence

When I woke up this morning ~
Your words were still ringing in my head.
Replaying them from the night before,
I still can't believe the things you said.
 ~
And inside my soul is drowning ~
In the tears of my broken heart.
While you don't even seem to notice,
that our world is crumbling apart.
~
You just proceed on with the day ~
with no apology to mention.
Somehow you don't feel the need to say,
or even glance in my direction.

The silence is so deafening ~
The tension can be cut with a knife.
I just can't believe it's come to this,
I thought we'd be together for life.

And I just can't help but wonder ~
What I've done to deserve such hate?
As I watch the years we've invested,
Evaporate in a single day.
~
Some say that silence is golden ~
Sometimes things are better left unsaid.
But in this case silence is deadly.
Because our love has come to it's end.
~

Bobbie - This was my reality not too long ago .. I wrote this right when it was occurring - so the emotions are real and strong. I since have found the true love of my life here on OP - Nicole is my saviour, without her I truly don't know where I'd be today - if you haven't read her .. visit her pages she is listed under Maleficent and QueenOtheKnight. Thanks again my friend! Much appreciated! :) Ken

great flow. not an original genre of poetry which makes creating such a great piece more difficult. great job, actually gave me chills. TEN!
