Trapped and caged a golden heart <br />Given out of love <br />But taken for granted daily <br />Giving a circle does not make it right <br />To ignore the one who gives her all <br />As her silent tears go unheard <br /> <br />A constant void flows from her <br />Going without a rose to speak of love <br />Dinner on the table upon your arrival <br />Pleas for a kiss as you walk out the door <br />A tear silently falls as the door closes <br />And she wishes you would see <br /> <br />She works until twelve bells are heard <br />Then lays her weary head down beside an empty bed that is filled <br />A silent tear falls as her eyes close <br />And she pretends it is her duty <br />For his circle keeps her chained <br />Empty lonely feelings that grow <br /> <br />Consuming her soul <br />Taking her life and nothing in return <br />She begs for love <br />And is shoved aside for a program on the silver screen <br /> As he watches he fails to see <br />The withering rose that holds his circle <br />And the tears that silently fall<br /><br />Patricia Gale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-circle-of-silent-tears/
