Dang, Saffie. The depth and emotion in this gets me. Your words and your title ties into that so much "storms of silence". Just thinking about that, how much silence can affect us, how loud it can be even when others don't see it. It haunts us, and that love being stolen breaks my heart. Love should be given, not used or abused or about gaining power.

Powerful piece.

Saffie, is one of the top emotional writers on this sight. This lovely lady writes from the heart and soul of her being in every line. Very captivating poem.

Running from darkness and losing control, sight of a love can be devastating and she captures the core feelings within this poem. truly elegant, sorrowful and touching!!
