How Do I Tell You...

How do I tell you

that I have become deaf.

Deaf from the voices of

anger and hate.

Deaf from the cries

that echo fate.



Mute are the tones

full of love and grace.

Omitted are the words

that fill an empty space.



Bring back the time

when we were one.

Bring back the joy,

laughter and fun.



Bring back the fire that

burned both day and night.

Bring back the spontaneity

into our life.



Bring back the sparkle

in your eyes so bright.

How do I tell you...

Please, no more strife.

That is a really good poem and I really like how you showed all of your feelings in a very creative way. I really thought that your poem was deep and I feel the same way sometimes when no one is talking. Also thanks for signing my guestbook!
