Silent stone

I've gotta fake it,

gotta shake it off

and start anew

or do I speak up

shout out

talk to you?

Can I tell you

you're crazy

for picking her?

That every day

will seem

hazy when she

doesn't stir

the same storm

inside you

the passion play

the sweet kisses

and soft whispers

every day?

Or do I keep quiet

Like I've always done?

A silent stone

a soft place to land

Always the one

to make no demands.

For now,

I'll just keep swimming

Trying to stay afloat

My words locked

inside me

Heavy and rote

So silence is my queen

and you may never know...
