Silent Storm

the oceans roar out your name
waves crashing to muffle your voice
that is trying to scream and plead
that none of this was your choice

you try so desperately to yell above the storm
to utter to me at least one word
one of love to show me that it is you
as you silently beg to be heard

but the other voices they cut you out
they scream louder than your voice can go
as your efforts are seemingly for nothing
I can see every bit of love you are trying to show
