Your silence

Your silence spoke words,

 my heart couldn't bear to hear

Listen to the silence

Listen to the silence

It has a lot to say
The secrets it will uncover
May take your breath away

It's the sound of unrequited love,
Of obscure and inexplicable emotions
Listen hard and you will know
The answers to all your questions

It speaks volumes,
About where in their life, you stand
And shows you the measure
Of the depth of the relation, and
How much they understand

At times it is an echo
Of unfulfilled desires and souls longing for more
At others, it screams the bitter truth
The one you chose to ignore

So listen, listen carefully
And let the beans spill
For words may lie
But silence never will
