Don’t think I do not feel;
because you see no tears.
A river rages deep inside
of grief, and loss, and fears.

Just because I do not cry now,
don’t think my heart’s not broken.
I keep inside the misery
of words not to be spoken.

Sometimes I smile, or crack a joke,
so you won’t see the pain;
or notice how my hands will shake,
or how I’ve gone insane.

Each time I chance to think of her,
my heart is ripped asunder.
The loss I feel is mine alone.
you will not see my thunder.

I recently lost my baby in December 07. I've been asked if I feel no pain ....I hold my pain inside me each and every day. Your poem reminded me on how much some people really don't know! It brings me comfort that my Sean lives forever in my heart
