silence slipped fingers
against my lips
silence struck metal
against my hips
silence slipped the
grainy film from my eyes
silence broadened me
to how this world lies
silence had grabbed
me by the cheek
silence said that
to cry was weak
silence taught me
how to look you right in the eye
and lie.

silence slipped fingers
against my lips
silence struck metal
against my hips
silence slipped the
grainy film from my eyes
silence broadened me
to how this world lies
silence had grabbed
me by the cheek
silence said that
to cry was weak
silence taught me
how to look you right in the eye
and lie.
