When My Silence Speaks

When my silence speaks It tells a story of woe All I had hoped for was Never really mine What I thought of As love never existed Mechanical love Manufactured love Created by desires Hopes and dreams The want so strong Led me to believe But I was wrong! I became confined To a cold solitude Promises unkept Left me so bereft Only a tale of Falsities which held Vengeance..hateful Words that stung My ears deeper Than voice still Hurt inside as tears Well up in my eyes To reminisce what I had missed! Then there was you That special one Who spoke words Of gentility so Sweet and kind Turned my world Around..changed My mind as all The past hurt Dissipated I became elated And from my silence With hope in my Heart I emerged! Fighting days are Through since the Day that I met you My empty shell No longer sad All that never was Has come to pass! Romeo Della Valle © Copyright-2021 Delray Beach, Florida (*) Google image:
