Silence

by keshaylaj

Silence By Keshayla Jones I am quiet He is quiet Words have yet to be spoken It leangers upon each breath we take Like the promises you once yearned to keep I weep from the pain The pain tucked underneath Thou I am weak Weak of knowledge But strong of my pride More than the sarrow Trusted with my faith And brung up as a women A women whom is proud of her name I am proud, proud to be me I am free Free from all Inculding you You who looked and looked away You who smiled and laugh Laughed at me Me who gave you the attention For what For why For Love Love that was blinding So sweet but silent
