In the silence of the shadows <br />a heart lay in tatters, <br />torn apart by loves advances <br />of an unwanted kind. <br />Bruised and beaten by distant <br />forays of fear and fist. <br />The heart once warm and loving, <br />now in the silence of the shadows <br />is held by threads of fear, <br />waits for repair <br />in the morning light of day. <br /> <br />29 October 2009<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/silence-of-the-shadows/
