silent

i am not saying anything

because I think it might be true

i am not saying anything

because I’m afraid to lose you

i am not saying anything

because it is better this way

no chances of words thrown like dice

to pierce your soul as if with ice

like pieces of shattered glass

from a broken-hearted lass

i will not say anything,

for I fear of what might happen

i will not say anything

for the fear is greater than the pain

and I will not say anything

but I will make you feel this, my dear

keep this silence, nurture it, please

for it means that I love you, all the broken pieces of you

and I will not say anything

but I will love you until you’re whole again

and I will not say anything

but I will make you feel this, as long as I can
