Listen to sounds of silence,
hear your footsteps walk away.
Even the beating of my heart,
has been silenced on this day.
Silent tears from swollen eyes,
pillow muffles whimpering cries.
Pain is silent it has no voice,
invisible the color of your lies.
Stars twinkle in night's quietude,
moon rises without a single peep.
Whistling wind no longer heard,
now listen to the stillness creep.
Hear the hush of broken dreams,
laid to rest mid silent prayers.
No echo heard in darkest night,
silent screams amid nightmares.
Oblivious as the world surrounds,
once more night turns into day.
Not a sound as day is breaking,
only your footsteps walking away.

How lovely!
My impression is soft sadness put to prose! No awkwardness here, just articulation flowing with rhyme.
Good luck in the contest!

Mournful pain, with nothing to gain.
"Not a sound as day is breaking,
only your footsteps walking away."
Heart breaking is the sound of silence, but suffer through it we must.
Beautiful write Sandy.

Lovely Read
Silence the mark for the mind to begin weaving the thread to consume emotions. Night's quietness lingers to await broken dreams shatter the heart. Faded love walks away taking hopes to relieve yesterdays with smiles. All these things have slipped beyond the narrators grasp. This is clear and evokes images that are sad as the narrator looks for rebuilt desires. I wish you all the best with this one. Great rhyme and flow as the stanza move the bring defining heartbreak.

I like the way you choose your images; "the color of your lies", "the hush of broken dreams", these are original, and I like that. The images of pain in here actually remind me of the song "Listen."
You forgot one thing; name in author's notes. For this, I will DQ YOU! (just kidding
) Just fix it, please.
