Simple words revealing a pure love <br />That slowly is drowning me <br />In the deep Ocean of my silence <br />Every time I think of you <br />While sorrows and sadness <br />Little by little are killing me... <br /> <br />Last night, while pretending <br />That I was waiting for you, <br />I suddenly felt a chill, <br />That clearly froze my heart and mind <br />And for a second, <br />I thought it was you approaching <br />But it turned out to be <br />My mind playing tricks on me... <br />I felt really devastated and empty, <br />Like a morning without dew <br />Or a dried rose without scent <br />Or a candle consumed by time.. <br /> <br />Now, alone and terribly sad, <br />While listening to an old song <br />That reminds me of the time <br />When we were happy together <br />Some time ago... <br />Vivid memories of my past <br />Ripping my life apart <br />Every day that passes by <br />And I still think of you, <br />Then like a baby I cry, <br />Saying goodnight to myself <br />Hoping that tomorrow <br />Will be a better day <br />When I would bury my past <br />But preserve my Hope and Faith... <br /> <br /> <br />©All Rights Reserved-2011 <br /> <br />.<br /><br />Romeo Della Valle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/footprints-of-my-silence/
