Silence . . .

Silence from my heart's corruption
As I lay here in loneliness . . .
Wondering why love,
The most powerful thing on Earth,
Has to make life so miserable . . .

It takes time, caring, and passion to say . . .
Yet it's so common
Being said without strong feeling
Without taking the time
To understand what it truly means . . .

From day to day
I suffered a quiet misery
Wondering why you said you loved me
But didn't comprehend it's significance . . .
The feeling it should have taken
That was never there . . .

Love . . .
The most beautiful thing in this world
But also the most horrid
Senselessness from your words to my ears
Telling me the unimportance
Of what I thought we had . . .

I wasted so much of my precious time
Hoping to be yours . . .
But now I thank God for saving me
From my false images
Of what I had made myself believe

Silence from my heart's corruption
As I slowly pull myself back
Back to true happiness
The way it should be . . .
