When the Pain is Silent

by fm wright

No one knows the hurt that I feel;
it seems that the wound just will never heal.
The ache, it never wants to go away:
rather it lingers on both night and day.

Upon deaf ears my words do fall:
I might as well be talking to a wall.
There is not so much as a whispered hint
that's ever heard...when the pain is silent.
