Silence

Nothing more powerful than the words in my mind.
Their soft kisses on my lips just to be kind.
Their long winding path from the brain to the mouth
But the tracks broken, they head to the heart.
And Silence.

Jumbled, incoherent, seemingly meaningless now,
What was once spoken in truth and emotion
Just lies there in devotion.
Seeing with the heart, understanding with ears
But Silence.

Dented life's curve with tears now numb
Straightened life's course to the impossibly hard.
Need out trumps promises discard
To the triumph of revenge, life goes on.
So Silence.

Patience and faith are all that remain
Not knowing my place, just a part of the game.
Hit and hurt, screams endure
Bruised egos to suffer till time turns dear.
Yet Silence.

Moving ahead, so easy to do
Yet stuck in a box with no lock to undo.
If truth be the answer, for all else failed
Nothing else matters but me to be blamed.
Now Silence.
