The Silent Cry

An old poem, written in 2003, picked up from my old "dusty" emails.....

She came into my life,
Like a dawn through the night.
The world all shone so bright.
Nothing mattered, but she and me.
A few joys, a few tears….
We had to share.

My heart jumped….
When I thought….
We’ll walk the trodden path….
Hand in hand.

‘I’ve someone waiting’ she said.
My achy heart trembled, skipped a beat
I gulped a tear and bid adieu.
The silent cry went unheard.
