Silent words

by Walter   Dec 4, 2017


I promise I was going to tell you
How much you really mean to me
I know I never said this this before
But I was always too blind to see

You would still be with me now
If I knew what you wanted to hear
These words I've always kept locked in my heart
The same words I should have whispered to your ear

It's strange I only know this now
And I know this doesn't make it right
If only I could have you back again
I would tell you each day and each night

It is so selfish the way you could just leave me
Without even saying a single thing
Did you ever consider your conscious
And all the heartache that it would bring

Did you ever think what it would do to me
And how much it would tear me apart
How could you ever put me through this
You have taken yourself along with my heart

And its like I don't even know you now
All those years that you were my wife
Are all gone in the seconds it took you
To decide to end your own life

    Ah Walter! I really hope this isn't written from reality? :-(
    When we lose someone to suicide, there's always those feelings of regret and anger too and I think you've captured this brilliantly here. The end made me catch my breath. x

      Hey Kitty, no not from my reality. But it is sad to think that this can and does happen to some people. I don't know what inspires me to write this way but I just find it easier to put words to paper. I hope you are ok too? Makes me wonder how you can write so emotionally without having gone through it all yourself. Especially 'The soundtrack to my life' I have read and re-read so many times. I love your words.....you have inspired me to write more!
