About Someone

Silence

Your silence, a shadow on your face,
A secret held, in every place.
In your absence, I see the truth,
A heart that's lost, a wasted youth.

Quiet

Your silence, a burden you bear,
A shadow that follows, everywhere.
In your absence, I see the truth,
A heart that's lost, in the rain.

Mute

Your silence, a constant plight,
A shadow that haunts, day and night.
In your absence, I see the truth,
A heart that's lost, forever lost.

Turning my hopes into blue.
Your silence, a void so deep,
Turned my heart into a weep.

The silent letter, cold and stark,
Turned my light into dark.

To turn the night into day.

Stronger for the trials I knew.

Your silence, a heavy shroud,
Turned my hopes into a cloud.
In your absence, shadows crept,
Turning my nights to tears wept.

With every letter, a hope was dashed,

Of dreams and love that never lashed.
The unanswered call, so cold and clear,
Turned my joy into fear.

Stronger for the trials I knew.

In the silence, strength profound.
Your silence, though it broke my heart,
Was the beginning of my new start.

About Someone

Silent Echo

In the silence of your gaze,
Lies a void that does amaze.
Each word you didn't speak, each reply you missed,
Turned my heart to a place dismissed.
Your absence, a haunting light,
Turned my brightness into night.
With every silence, every sigh,
You made my trust in you die.
Your distance, a cold wave,
In your absence, I am brave.
In your silence, I found my voice,
Learning to make my own choice.
Forever growing, forever true,
In your shadow, life renews.
