Scripted Silence
    
    The alarm sounds in the morning
As they wake they kiss
He thinks to himself what did
I do to deserve such bliss

But she’s been broken and love
Is something she just can’t trust
She’s guarded her heart from Cupid’s arrow
With a bulletproof vest, leaving it to rust

He is innocent and not the reason she’s
Hardened and cold
And he is usually unprepared for
When her feelings become uncontrolled

Like a train in the night that gets derailed
He’s done something that reminds her
And soon her wrath comes crashing down
As she’s let it bubble and stir

At first he tries to defend himself
And he circumbs to just apologize
He doesn’t know what to do
As the tears flow from her eyes

She separates herself behind a
Closed door and there’s no more sound
He has a loss of words as well but
He realizes his love is profound

And if love is to prevail he must prove it
And become comfortable with her defiance
Though he may never erase the reason
For her scripted silence
