What am I supposed to say?
When I can’t finish the things I’ve started
How am I supposed to react?
It’s hard to feel happy when you’re broken hearted
Watching things change differently
The same as they did before
Wondering if it would hurt you less
If I said just a little more
Yet trapped in silence is how I choose to be
Wrapped up in my own insecurity
If you love someone then set them free
To that I say “No comment!”

What am I supposed to do?
When I can’t change the way things are?
How am I supposed to go on?
It’s hard to believe when you can’t see that far
Watching you embrace your destiny
The same as you did before
Wondering if it would change the outcome
If I did just a little more
Yet trapped in silence is where I will stay
You may not admit it, but you like it this way
And if you ask me, you know what I’ll say
I’ll smile and shrug “No comment!”

So many things I wish I could say…

"people say I should learn some self-control, but I just want to exorcise my soul"

Silver and Mistletoe,

     Thank you for reading and for your kind words of encouragement. Interesting... rereading this I can see now how it comes off as sad but when I wrote it, I was in a more wistful thoughtful mood. Maybe a little melancholy but not overly so. I'm always surprised at what people gleam from my words; sometimes what is obvious to me is hidden to others and vice versa. \

Obvious to me or to you?... (wink) and silence IS hard but it's also safe. Yes, I'm waxing philosophical tonight (lol)...forgive me my dear but what is the catch phrase from that godawful Howard the Duck movie - "trapped in a world he didn't create?"

Jeffrey,
I'd like to say something wonderful about this great poetic whimsy...but I guess I'll just stick to no comment

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

"Watching you embrace your destiny

======================================
if it would change the outcome.....i'm dwelling on this....
everything that happens..is a direct result of our actions..or reactions..but one cannot hold another in chains..they will surely find a way to break free....however, if you put them in your protective care, allowing them freedom...they may find their way back..or perhaps..they have never truly left..

i dunno jeffrey...
it speaks volumes to ME...i hear it loud and clear...but am i hearing what youve intended..?
hugs,me
