Silent Tears

This came in the spur of emotion, so it might not make too much sense. Letting out what tears enclose. The result of a 10 min piece of work.

Life seems like a small price to pay,

To escape this unexplainable pain.

 

The reminiscence of silken tears,

Flood into a sea of old misery.

Provoking old emotions,

Testing new strengths.

 

Old barriers are broke,

Letting nostalgic moments slip.

Unleashing what’s forgotten,

Creating things to forget.

 

Words are replaced by silence,

Isolating emotions without explanations.

But still, you are there,

In my heart, you remain.

 

Every breath,

Suppresses raging pain.

Every moment,

Raises an avalanche of silent cries.

 

I am captured by your net,

Unwilling, yet not restraining.

Drifting with time,

Fading with a 'sigh'.

 

My love for you wipes the tears I cry,

Mending the pain only to rise again.

My Heart lies with you,

While pain is left to grow.

 

Just for a moment, I think you’ve returned,

Returned to bring me back from my dream.

But a moment last only for a while,

And in a flash I’m back in the sea.

 

In unexplainable silence,

I cry for you in torment.

Life is such a small price to pay,

For a key to let me escape.

yes, this is really deep. one of those spur-of-the-moment things that help ease the pain. you know i know how you feel-you read my "story." i'm not quite sure how much sense it makes to people not going through the same thing you are, but to people who have been there its word-for-word as to what it feels like.

with some close attention to spelling and grammar, this could be ready for the world.

Sorry dear... i m probably not the best person to review this poem... since i am only into rhymes ... anything that doesn't rhyme ... doesn't catch me so well...
but overall ...good.

This is a beautiful write! I loved it, especially the words you used, really deepened the poem.
