A Silent Tear



It hurts so deep to know this
I swear I can hear my heart cry
No day has been the same since
I was told a lie.
A lie is nothing to counter,
It doesn’t stay in the light,
It weaves a heavy burden
leaving truth far from sight.
I feel as if I’m frozen
Chilled by being betrayed,
Even in forgiveness I’m saddened
Looking for all that’s gone astray.
So bright and clear and radiant
Is a truthful word that’s told
But I have stepped into a time,
Where darkness has left me cold.
