'silent Cry'
It tugged at my heart strings
The silent cry
The words you never uttered
The faded marks of tears
You never meant to shed still evident
You never knew I knew
You wanted to be held
But your shields were up
You still felt the need to protect yourself
Against the love on offer
Against the comfort provided
Only because you never experienced
Someone showing they cared
I hope that you realize
That in all these moments of
Seclusion
In all these moments of
Self inflicting pain
It doesn't make it easier
It is only prolonging your rebuff
That you can do this on your own
