I could have moved him <br /> <br />If he could hear how loud <br /> <br />my heart was beating <br /> <br />I could have touched him <br /> <br />But he could not feel much <br /> <br />beyond his pale skin <br /> <br /> <br />I could have loved him <br /> <br />But he was blind and could not read <br /> <br />my broken lines <br /> <br />I went through the motions <br /> <br />Drowning in an ocean <br /> <br />A dead sea... <br /> <br />He kept on looking past me <br /> <br /> <br />© 2009 Sonya Florentino <br /> <br /> <br />with much thanks to Ronald Peat, a poet friend, <br />for guiding me through the deep end....<br /><br />Sonya Florentino<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lament-in-silence/
