Silenced

 

                    *~~*

Silenced…

Eyes turned blind that used to see

Ears that once heard love -

Now deafened by the lack thereof

Where is that love you promised me?

 

 

Hushed now…

By the death of love that could not see

Death by darkness

Death by silence

That now painfully covers me

 

 

Once…

A flowering tree in daylight I was ...

The sun painted buds on my burgeoning leaves

But now…

I am silenced with your hand held over my heart

Silenced now - my flowering tree

 

 

You brought darkness to my heart

Smotherering out the light thst helped me see

That once caressed my out stretched limbs

Now - shattered like glass

That painfully covers me
