[Poem] Secret Solitude
A silhouette in the doorway
Broken by flowing tears
Silence drowned by lonely grief
Seen by hidden eyes
Broken by flowing tears
Silence drowned by lonely grief
Seen by hidden eyes
A woken sleeper lies alone
Wrapped up in secret fears
Muffled sobs soak through pillows
Something inside dies
Two sets of tears
Tears all alone
Alone in the dark
Dark to the bone
A fragile heart weighs on sweet dreams
One final agony
She thought her secret died with her
Saved by her last breath
A final memory is forged
Deep inside of me
Dignity given by silence
Taken to my death
I
break
Tears fall
I keep your secret
At least I give you that
I should have given you more
Youth and age sharing solitude
I don’t think I even knew you
I’m sorry and I miss you
You beautiful
sorrowful
silhouette

Thank you. It was such a hard one for me to write because of what the subject matter meant to me. But I'm glad I got it out in the end.
Well it remains to be seen whether I'll ever have the guts to show this to anyone who may know specifically what the poem is about, or for that matter anyone who has known me for a significant amount of time.
But your encouraging words have certainly helped to boost my confidence :)
Wow, that is such a wonderful poem. Well paced and great structure. A very brave poem, but a joy to read.
