Silent Partner

The feelings are real and unspoken true
Fearing what I do have, will be lost too
Words aren’t important as showing is
I’ll let the angels sing the choruses

Your last love abused before I knew you
Causing you caution I understand too
Standing over here not too far away
To fill whatever role I need to play

  1. “I’ll let the angels sing the choruses…” Lovely thought, even if you don’t celebrate Easter! This was a wonderful take on the Angel prompt, and I liked it a lot. Thanks, Michael, Amy

  9. Oh! What a wonderful write. I think a lot of people can relate to this, although I have to say it’s rare to find someone so open-minded. You must truly care about the other person to be so selfless.

  11. Sad when we can’t go with the flow of love. The present always suffer because of the past — if we take the ghost with us. Great write as usual 🙂

  15. ‘real and unspoken true’ is an enchanting phrase. I stopped for a moment at: Words aren’t important as showing is, as well. A line that could draw out so many different emotions in the readers. Happy Potluck.
