When love grows cold, it does so in silence.

Deadly Silence


 


When one is in love the one thing that can cut through his soul like a knife


Deadly silence, no response and not even an angry word, the creation of strife.


They say words spoken in anger can be deadly and destructive


And so they can be, but they can also be instructive.


However, when one simply says nothing to show that they care.


This is a deep void which can cause a loved one to despair.


“Why will you not tell me what it is I did wrong,” he may ask.


And if she gives no retort, her silence is a mask


This will not allow an exchange and no clue to a solution.


It has caused many a love to grow cold and drown in its own pollution.


For if you truly care for someone you will fight for their love.


Your passion will not allow silence; it will help you rise above.


Above the problem which you have, whatever it may be.


Otherwise, you and your loved one will feel as if lost in a raging sea.


With no hope of reaching land as dark clouds swirl above.


Break the silence and forgive one another, it’s an act of great love.

Sage wisdom in this piece. Inspiring....

Wonderful write, Lew!

I'm the same with Lena - sometimes it just isn't worth it to argue over small matters; so just keep silence for a while and let it pass, and resume the normal conversation later.

I think it's the best way to be.

"no clue to a solution"? sometimes silence is the only solution

Excellent advice, Lew. But sometimes silence doesn't mean you don't care...in my case, it would mean I have no time or energy to waste arguing...just say something funny to make me laugh and all is forgiven! But, then, that's just me! :) All the same, great advice!

God Bless

This is a wonderful poem, Lew, and it's full of excellent advice. I could relate so easily here.
Again, wonderful.
Hugs and respect,

This is very true
being a passive personality I can attest to this
but it takes two to set the atmosphere, and sometimes its better to just hush
