Survival

Within your eyes,
I sometimes see,
The pain and the hurt,
the emotional defeat..

Straining to keep,
the tears from falling,
you choose not to speak.

You radiate a special strength,
a strength one endures from deep
within the soul.

When darkness is the only light
your sight can see,
When silence echos across the walls,
from which your heart has fallen from.

1985
