*You smile at me- uneasy!
Suppressing the frown underneath
You sigh and you say nothing
Not a single word you bare!*
*Your face is smeared with scorn
Your silent words are cruel
Stabbing repeatedly with pain
Yet, you're too nice to say*.
*Your words would have been harsh
But your silent words are venom
You haven't said a word
But your eyes, they reveal volumes*.
*Why the difficulty in speech?
Why the patronage and deceit?
If only I could read your mind...
If only I could hear your heart...*
*It would tell of how I repulse you
Of I embarrass you in public
Of how you hate the hugs I crave
Of how far apart we've strayed!*
*But why the silent regrets?
Why paint a dead flower red?
For the words you dread to say
Are softer than the silence you sway!*
*I know you mean well for you
But you're just afraid I'd hurt
Afraid to rip my heart in two
When your silence has crushed to dust!*
*A little openness if you cared,
Could have left us bound as friends
A little honesty could have saved me
But we've both died in your silence!*
