Going Deaf

Going Deaf ©

No longer do the sounds reach my ears
No vibrations pulsing with your words
The sweet murmurs have grown quiet
And in their absence is only silence
~~~
The lyrics of your voice no longer captivate
The lilt of love now just a faint memory
No talk of the now or the then
And no words shared of the future
~~~
All the caring things said hold no resonance
And the feelings left unsaid no reason
The orations of devout and undying love
Now fall blindly on deaf ears, numb to the noise
~~~
So many things genuinely said
The love and kindness spoken
Have lived an abbreviated life
Now offering nothing to hold onto
~~~
The heartfelt expressions of yesterdays
Do not reverberate in the todays
Your words will always be a whisper
When your actions tend to shout
~~~
But in those quietest and lonely times
If I struggle to listen closely enough
The harsh and hateful spoken but once
Echo softly from the scars on my heart
~~~

so poignant. some words ring through our souls forever
Thank you, Beth! Somethings you can’t unhear. I appreciate your steadfast support!
Marvellous
Thank you kindly, Tanvir!
It is odd how we tend to hold onto the harsh words thrown at us even though sweet ones are typically more prevalent. Another hauntingly beautiful piece, my dear friend!
You spoil me. Thank you, my friend!
Definitely most beautiful and brilliant verses!
Thank you, brother!
My pleasure my brother!
