Without your knowing, <br />Beyond your eyes, <br />Past all care, <br />Bereft of your understanding, <br />I cry. <br />I wipe the tears but they still flow <br />In the silence of my shame! <br />The hands I trusted decapitated me <br />And I have no fires to burn them down. <br />My bludgeoned body, blackened face, <br />Now abandoned in the darkest recess, <br />Shed tears and wipe them, <br />To hide from the world <br />An agony none can share. <br />My scarred soul cries alone <br />In the silence of shame!<br /><br />Pradip Chattopadhyay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/silence-of-shame/
