Hidden Hearts

By Aethelwyne

The silence wasnt broken
Though her eyes streamed with tears
When he held her in his arms
She tried to conquer her fears

She knows all his secrets
He's memorized her dreams
They'd rather die than hurt each other
They belong together it seems

Yet they've never breathed a word
Of how they feel inside
Scared that the other wouldnt feel the same
They let their emotions hide

Lying close together in darkness
Like so many times before
Both too terrified to say 'I love you'
Said 'Goodbye Forevermore'

    Absolutely beautiful. This was worth the long wait to read.

  • A former member wrote: Oh my...I have missed your words...and now, you've come back with a BANG and have shattered me to pieces. The rhyme scheme is beautiful, and the imagery...the message...all of it, shall surely become the mantra I wake up muttering in the night. *Evangel*

  • A former member wrote: tragedy expressed in epic tone, with such tender revelation and reverberating sorrow

    To love is good. Sublime. But to be loved, and to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that love it is. That's the clincher. that's everything. Beautifuly written, and taken to heart. Much love.
