It's funny how I used to laugh
Every word spoken to emphasize a single thought
yet now I stand in silence,
just watching

Sometimes I tell the truth
in hopes of opening the eyes of those
whose hearts are set on breaking
because the truth sets the crumbling free
But then I think to myself how awful
it can be to know how broken you are
so I sit quietly and just think,
just watching

When I'm angry I try not to admit it
because then I show what makes me weak
and weakness makes me cry in frustration
because sadness has yet to **** me,
only give me company
when I'm alone in my room
with my eyes set on nothing,
just watching

It's funny how I used to speak
With laughter ripping my soul in two
and exposing the parts of myself that swell with delight
and illuminates the stars in my eyes
yet now I just listen in silence,
just waiting.
