In Silence My Heart Weeps


My heart couldn't recall
yesterday’s yearnings,
but the old hurts
laid claim
on unshed tears

In silence
my heart weeps

Walls built
a thousand years ago
cannot be torn down
by wishes alone

In silence
my heart weeps

I keep locked
the terror
that threatens
my soul

My heart
weeping in silence

Not such a big deal
by mind reasons
but still,
I wrap invisible cords
around my fragility
and let my emotions
keep others at bay

My heart weeping
in silence

I keep these feelings
hidden
hope no one
notices.
Alone,
I can only dream
and alone,
I dance in joy
glad I don’t have to
put on an act.

In silence
the tears dry.
