~~~Grieving Silently~~~

Why must I grieve silently,
When my heart is so loudly screaming
The emptiness I feel is comsuming me,
Oh God, how I wish I were dreaming.

The silence around me is deafening
for nobody knows what to say
to comfort this agony I'm feeling
Since my daughter went away.

Each day the sun continues to rise
and the earth is still turning though my world
has come to a screeching halt
no one can ease my yearning.

For a part of me has vanished
and a part of my heart has died
and no one can hear my heartache
or feel the turmoil I carry inside.

And I'll go one grieving silently
and exist on a different plane
and I'll keep my love for her deep in my heart
until we see each other again.
