I hear your voice, <br />Though you do not speak, <br />You have a longing. <br />Trust in love you seek. <br /> <br />At night you cry, <br />But there is no one to hear- <br />No one to listen, <br />To that dream you hold dear. <br /> <br />Most people don't care, <br />So they do not see your tears. <br />They cannot hear your silent cries, <br />Nor sense your deepest fears. <br /> <br />You live in a constant shadow, <br />Of what tomorrow will bring. <br />Will it bring joy or laughter, <br />Or teardrops that will sting? <br /> <br />Today I heard the silent cry, <br />An echo from far, far away. <br />It made me cry, too; <br />I didn't know what to say. <br /> <br />You are surrounded by people, <br />Yet you are all alone. <br />They do not see the teardrops, <br />Which cut you to the bone. <br /> <br />They cannot feel the anger, <br />Seething within your heart. <br />They cannot feel this pain, <br />Tearing you apart. <br /> <br />You did not choose this fate, <br />But it's hardships you must face, <br />The silent cry is a longing, <br />To escape to a safer place. <br /> <br />The past cannot change, <br />You cannot change who you are. <br />There's one thing you can do, <br />You can try to heal the scar. <br /> <br />I am here to help you; <br />In my love you can rely, <br />In a silent cry. <br /> <br /> (1987)<br /><br />Lesa MRK<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-silent-cry/
