Silence Is Golden

This Poem about silence is golden my dad’s favourite song. His way of telling me he knew my pain even though the mental cruelty of my abusive marriage I tried to keep from him. Some how he knew what I was going through yet no family members told him. I wanted it that way because I couldn’t stand the thought of my dad knowing and if he said anything him getting hurt too. I loved my dad too much. I also know my brother if dad had told him what I was going through. Would have killed my ex husband at the time. I didn’t want trouble for both my dad and brother so I chose to keep my silence Golden. Copy Rights to everything but the song belong to George’s Girl 2025 ❤️💕❤️

Silence Is Golden

He never asked, never pressed,

but his eyes held a quiet restlessness

a knowing without words,

a wound felt from a distance.

I thought I had hidden it well,

the cracks behind my smile,

the weight of unspoken bruises

pressed deep into my mind.

But my father,

Knew me too well

He knew I was going through hell

He heard the silence I thought was safe.

No one told him,

yet somehow he knew

the unshed tears behind my voice,

the way my laughter

never quite reached full beam

And when “Silence Is Golden”

played on the radio,

he would hum along softly,

as if to say I know

words aren’t always needed,

love can speak

without a sound,

My dad seen and heard me,

even when I thought I was invisible.

He knew deep down I was being hurt, and it hurt him. I love you, Dad. Even though you’re not here, I know you knew he was hurting me. your favorite song proves it.
