Crack of pain

Listen... don't you hear?

Silence screams with fear

Worry and despair fills the air

Your touch is cold, eyes frail

I look at your empty stares

I ask why are you scared?

Tears started to flow from your eyes

You dare not speak your desires

You fake a smile and laugh closing your eyes

You swear not to speak a word but cry

"Speak!" I say. "Tell me what you feel!"

You turn back and left, wanting to scream

You'd rather leave and keep the words

Words that will express pain and remorse

You don't want your vulnerable side exposed

Because your voice will betray you with its reproach
