Silence

Silence
Deafening between love and lies

The silence of time is passing us by
you no longer speak and I no longer listen.
Stubborn pride is our demise
when there are no words to be spoken.

I have heard your excuses and alibis
but your eyes betray your mind in treason.
Now, I see through your lies
and your silent stare mocks my question.

What do you see when you look into my eyes
do you notice that the spark is gone?
Can't you see that I no longer try
and that I am numb and will soon be gone?

Now my heart only cries
it feels battered and broken.
Held together by what is left of my pride
the memories of our love are my only token.

In this silence between love and lies
we no longer speak with reason.
It is time to break our ties
ending this awkward confrontation.
