Silent Cry
They wore a facade like garment
beautified their lips with sad smiles
eyes sunken from tears
they walked like defeated soldiers
with heads bowed
having lost the battle to sorrow
a little love they yearned for
but found none
as their spirits were dampened with words
words, sharper than blades
like deserts, their hearts were rendered desolate
faith dwindled as despair took over
their stories ended with a Happily Never After
as they rushed into the arms of death.
