Your Silent Scream

 

Your Silent Scream

 

You smile so nice,

But I see the scream in your eyes,

That silent scream of lies,

Did you tell your ma?

Did you tell your pa?

Did you tell your bro, your sis?

How about your significant other?

Or your spouse,

Do you worry,

Do you think they see?

That silent scream in your eyes,

The truth you don’t want anyone to see,

The truth not even you want to see,

And you can’t close your eyes,

Because then you see,

What you don’t want anyone to see,

You don’t want anyone to see you,

With your legs spread wide,

Allowing a stranger to enter,

With scalpel and forceps,

Digging away, starting to destroy,

The life you were caring,

The life you had no intention of sharing,

Now gone, now dead and gone,

And now you ain’t so sure,

The one you got rid of,

Might have been, could have been,

The one, maybe the only one,

Who would have loved you completely,

Who would have done anything for you,

Who would have looked into your eyes,

To see all the love in you.
