Silence
I spoke in whispers, soft and low,
Hoping somehow my heart would show.
The things I feared, the things I'd hide,
Behind the quiet I kept inside.
I waited for a gentle sign,
A soul to read these thoughts of mine.
To see the hurt behind my smile,
And stay with me a little while.
But silence came where words used to be,
And drifted like a distant sea.
Still deep within, I hold this plea
To be understood, completely me.
