Ranting and raving
Scrimping and saving
The words you hold in reserve
The breadth and width
Of words unsaid
Says more than you ever could
Waxing and waining
Your ever disdaining
The lines are writ on your face
I read between
to see to be seen
The secrets you've kept in your heart
With the knowing and showing
You can better understand who you are
The silence between
What you are now
And what you have been
Is the silence that holds you from me.

The secrets you've kept in your heart
With the knowing and showing
You can better understand who you are
The silence between
What you are now
And what you have been
Is the silence that holds you from me.
