Inspired by CLBishop's "Strangely Silent"
about broken hearts and the sound they make.
My poem is about his tale,
and suggesting the girl knew not what she was doing.

_____ _____ _____ _____ _____
Silence surrounds and chokes thee
pointing - laughing - and joking
love and happiness disposer
Evil claws creeping closer
As The Grim Reaper to life
Painful loving's a knife
Smokey silence hides the truth
Steals the wells known but to youth
Darkness promising repose
What death it offers, no one knows.
In your sorrows' lament
Blame not the innocent
Her wake so deadly morbid
she knew not what she did
Sought only to spread some cheer
by letting thee get too near
She only wanted to give
To be, to live and let live
No, she never meant to take
nor wanted your heart to break
Darkness promising repose
What death it offers, no one knows.
In your sorrows' lament
Blame not the innocent
She's cursed like Medusa
Romance turned into stone
Traveling Siracusa
Happiness never known
So when it's strangely silent
And you hear your heart breaking
Don't get angry or violent
You're not the only one aching
...
........
In your sorrows' lament
Blame not the innocent

Some notes about the poem:
Siracusa is another term for Syracuse (A sicilian city).
Everyone (that I grew up with) envisioned France (Italy)
as "THE" spot for romance. Still, in "THE" spot... she finds it not.
As for where I mentioned death, it was death to love not life
(love and happiness disposer).
I don't intend that CLB would ever be angry or violent,
I guess that's just how I'm used to seeing people
deal with things when they don't get their way.
I didn't mean that's how he'd react.
He is much too sweet for that!
Thanks for reading, and I'd love comments on how to improve
if anyone has any ideas! Thank you all and have a great day.
