Your silence speaks louder than your words.

by nmdoza   Jan 9, 2010


Unspoken words, unspoken minds,
I cannot read anything when I look at your expressions.

Silent whispers, silent eyes,
Your mouth does not speak when I ask you why.

Quiet worries, quiet fears,
The language of your body tries to cover your emotions.

Hidden secrets, hidden thoughts,
I try to uncover the truth underneath it all.

Masked fantasies, masked realities,
I begin to notice your true desires.

Unspoken silences, all quiet and hidden,
Masks away the truth of our love.

Unspoken silences, all quiet and hidden,
Masks the heart because there is no passion.

Unspoken silences, all quiet and hidden,
Masks away the empty places inside me.

Your silence speaks louder than you words,
For all I see are dull faces, with nothing to say.

Now I know your silence speaks louder than your words.
Because the only thing you've shown me is how much you didn't love me.

* Inspired by one of my original quotes :
" Your silence speaks louder than your words.
And the only thing you've shown me is how much you didn't love me. "
It had the most votes, so I decided it would make an inspirational poem. hope you guys agree with me. (yn) :)

    Thanks once again. The reason I put masks in the next three stanza though was because for every first words in the first five stanzas were then used in the next three. I’m not sure if you noticed that. But I’ll try to fix it up when I can or when I at least get some more opinions. I want to see how others feel about the word “masks” being used a few times. But thanks for your input. It’s really going to help me improve on my future poems.

    I really like how you used the same words twice at the begginning of each stanza. It made a really good affect. As for these stanzas:

    "Masked fantasies, masked realities,
    I begin to notice your true desires.

    Unspoken silences, all quiet and hidden,
    Masks away the truth of our love."

    I would use a different word than masked in the first stanza since you have masks in the next three stanzas
    but other than that it was a really good poem

    Great Write and keep it up
