Poetry: To Love in Silence

She loved him; he never told her so…
She was always there for him…
He was never there for her.
She always remained faithful to her love…
He always abandoned her.
She was his friend, his lover, his mother, his sister, and his companion.
He was always a stranger to her.
She was older than him…
He was a frightened child in her presence.
He toyed with her heart.
She put her fear behind her and walked away.
He didn’t know that, by doing so, he risked losing her.#
