Love At The Wrong Times Poem by Chris Embrick

My heart was not ready
when you needed love
When you walked away
it was not anger
but hurt I saw in your eyes
No words were spoken
I only heard the silence
of your broken heart

It was not rejection
that day
when you needed love
I was afraid to risk
being hurt again so soon
I needed your love
as much as you needed mine
When I turned to walk away
You didn't see the tears in my eyes
You never heard the silence
of my broken heart.
