My Silent Screams
by Judy Burnette
I'm hurting on the inside
God, do you see how I feel?
This time my heart is worn out
And I don't know if it will heal.

This woman stands before me
Who was once my bride;
The love that I used to feel
Somehow it has died.

There are so many things
I would like to say;
Silently my heart yearns
For brighter, happier days.

I want to do the right thing
It's not that I am a saint;
I would like to say I love her
But inside God,...I can't.

I don't know what the future holds
There is so much I can't see;
But God, at this time in my life
You will have to love her for me.

I know I can't find the words
I can't make my love like new;
I give to you all the painful years
And my hurting heart too.

Please take my heart and heal it
Put you love in its place;
Then when we look at each other
We will see a reflection of your grace.

I don't know why I chose to read this poem because I was looking for a poem about rosebuds. I am so glad I did. I hope anyone that is going through a difficult time in thier marriage will read this poem. I am in a loving marriage now but at one time I had problems and gave up. So many times we give up instead of giving God charge of our problems. A beautiful poem.
