A silent road lay before me
like an ocean all alone
Silence conquers my dark feelings
that have surfaced since I was born
The road calls me to my future
one that I wish I saw
Beckons me to start my journey
traveling into your arms.

A silent road lay before me
like my heart is an open song
Where stars confront their desolation
in the act of dying out
To take a step in one direction
takes me to where you are from
The silence of the open heart ache
cannot contort me to my fall.

A silent road lay before me
the journey starts when you're alone
Like stars colliding for inaction
our hearts beat as though they are one
A silent moment in my memory
as I see your tears begin to fall
Capture them with my souls presence
as the road ends at your door.

You have such flare to your words.  You write with such emotion, and have a wonderful way of conveying your message without fancy words.  A great write as always.

this is very beautiful, sometimes we make hard decisions not knowing what road to go down, but here I can see it's quite evident to where she should turn in order to reclaim the right road.
