A Silent Death...

Think of happy thoughts,
let them reflect through you.
But how does one do this,
when sadness within you looms.


A smile, it breaks upon your lips,
your eyes, another secret hide.
Inside of you, a silent death
to the world you don't reveal.


Meetings, greetings, no one knows,
you dare not let it show.
Idle chatter and feigned laughter,
this pain you try to soothe.


Weary soul that does not care,
for company, and feels bemused,
You want to run and hide,
from this life you did not choose.


You crave the love and passion,
that was ripped from under you.
Now you carry this heavy burden,
It’s your heart, now grey and leaden !

Review it! - What do you think of A Silent Death...?
THE CLOSING LINE BLOCKS THE FLOW.
Please check the first stanza.
>============================= <

"A Silent Death..." delivers a profound message of life through its poetical line, which made me learn and inspired me.

Keep sharing Your treasures, Poet!

Healthy Long Life.

Now this one cuts to the quick for me. It reminds me of how I felt when deep in the throes of depression. I'm much better now, but the memory of those days will always be with me. Not that this poem makes me depressed. I actually like it. A little touch of melancholy now and then keeps us all on our toes.

Dear Elga,
what an excellent write. For a minute I thought it was me you wrote about. But there are probably so many of us, sitting in the same boat.
All the best.

Hauntingly beautiful and melancholy write Elga

The healing comes from within...when we connect with our inner self ...then we bounce back with renewed confidence and vigour..!!!

Elga,
A very emotional piece. It is so hard to put up a front when one is hurting so. I think if it were not for these fronts that emotional breakdowns would run rampant. Excellent write.
