Silence
Distance is lovely, the silence is comfortable
couldn’t say “help me” so instead said nothing at all
I needed you beside me, but I couldn’t tell you
would have explained why, but I hadn’t a clue
The silence is thick, the quietness heavy
I wanted to speak, but my fear didn’t let me
tried to be strong, but I was too weak
I let the silence win; and I didn’t speak
Not that I dislike, or even distrust you
its only that care is an experience that’s new
the silence has been my home for so long
that I’m sometimes convincing speaking up would be wrong
the silence is thick, quietness oppressive
the dark, though familiar, is oh so depressive
someday I hope I can make the choice
to end the silence, and lift my voice.

silence...it acts as a natural filter to your thoughts. It gives you time to think about what you are feeling and what those feelings mean to you. silence is a terrible enemy, and a great friend to have...but remember that i will always listen, when something must be said...ily rainy..
