We Grew Apart In Silence

We grew apart in silence
And let life deal the hand
That would eventually murder
Whatever life we had.

We hoped and prayed each evening
That the past would win the race.
Hoping that tomorrow,
We would be dealt an ace.

We placed our bets in darkness
When all was standing still.
We hoped that time would help us
And focused all our will.

We waited as life passed us
by and bye again.
Blind to what surrounds us,
and to what could have been.

Every evening we come here
And try returning what we lost.
We always learn the same old lesson
At a greater cost.

We Grew Apart In Silence but still we have the faith & so does every evening we pray again....
Life is not the bed of roses for everyone but still few brave hearts always finds the way. Amazing poem & beautiful flow of emotions.
