Silence
I've tried,
I've lied.
Do you care?
A life filled with tears,
A life filled with pain.
How much more can one person sustain?
Hear the words
See the picture
Smell the love
Taste the pain.
Short
or long,
I listen to the song.
As I gaze,
As I daze.
Ignore me.
Know me.
Stare across the room.
See the silence.
See the pain that never fades...
