• The silence as the song starts,
    so painful and deadly
    the wondering eyes,
    looking so eagerly

    Like a magnet,
    they find you immediately
    as you look,
    no sadness lies
    behind those eyes

    The smile hiding the lie
    knowing you've already let go,
    She still holds on.
    The pain clear on her face

    The silence as they dance
    deadly as one laughs,
    the other burst into tears
    inside the soul
    looking questioningly
    at those bright eyes

    As their song comes to a close,
    they embrace in one last hug
    tears gather,
    still unshed,
    never wanting to let go,
    but knowing it has to end

    Quietly they bow their heads,
    as a prayer is said.
    looking into the others eyes,
    waiting for words to compromise,

    Silently,
    the words pass their lips,
    full of longing and dispair
    quickly she turns,
    hiding her fears,
    and walks into the crowd,
    intent of leaving without sound.

    quietly she walks,
    ignoring those who talk
    trying not to cry,
    walking she sees
    out of the corner of her eye,
    sitting in the chair,
    by the door and grinning.

    slightly she starts to cry,
    quickly composing herself,
    for the silent ride home.
    laying in her bed,
    gasping and throbbing,
    the tears fall down her face.
