Silent words


there were no angry words to say
you couldn't face it, just went away
no real clear words of good bye
just dangling questions to wonder why
silence is the loudest tone
difference in lonely and being alone
your silent words, scream, echoes free
no one to question, so I blame me
was just another risk to take
you chalked right up, to bad mistake
you question my motives, how I feel
was numb before, more numb now, UNREAL!
and if it's because your afraid, so am I
with everything I question why
you can not teach a heart to feel
there is no pardon, I will not appeal
I never ask you for anything
just happy with the joy you bring
it must have been asking way too much
for now I've slipped right through your touch
yes, I will miss you when your gone
but I need you to know, I AM strong
but, if one day you again pass my way
I will welcome you home to stay
