Silently Wishing
Tears are streaming,
falling down her face,
her mouth opens
but no sound comes out,
She silently wishes
for you to listen
for you to understand
that she meant no harm,
But the damage is done
No turning back
no undoing those words
that were said,
She wants you to know
that she is sorry,
but she just can’t say it
for the fear of your reaction,
But she wishes
you’d listen
to those silent words
those words that will never be said,
But she wishes you might see
she really cares,
that she’d never leave you
or how much she loves you,
But from her view
she sees that you are hurting
and you only seemed to be wanting a new life,
so she reaches for your arms for one last time,
but they are not there when she reaches for them,
tears are streaming
falling down her face,
she wishes for you to listen,
for you to understand
but now she knows that you won’t
so she says goodbye
then slowly walks into the lurking darkness
where she’ll wait
for the day when you’ll take notice
of the tears and words that are never said.
