Silent Reasons

Silent Reasons

In the dead of the night, she asks the silence why
She gave up on a heart she had never known
To the beat of her heart, she gives no reply

Too proud to admit that she had gone awry
To realize that her mistakes were her own
In the dead of the night, she asks the silence why

Her tender heartache she tries to deny
Shutting her eyes, she suppresses a groan
To the beat of her heart, she gives no reply

She could not hold back a shuddering sigh
So eagerly had her misery grown
In the dead of the night, she asks the silence why

Hearing no answer, she begins to cry
For her hurting had at last sunk to the bone
To the beat of her heart, she gives no reply

In soothing darkness, her tears were swift and spry
For someone she had left behind, alone
In the dead of the night, she asks the silence why
To the beat of her heart, she gives no reply
