I hate your silence <br />I see it as heartless violence <br />and though you say it is a virtue <br />it feels it only hurts you <br />as much as it hurts me <br />and turns it's back on hearts <br />and leaves them both in misery <br />and diminishes what I mean to you <br />and what you mean to me <br />I hate your silence <br />and see it as heartless violence <br />as you safely sit behind your bulletproof glass <br />it shows only that you are heartless <br />and never had much class <br />silence may be a virtue <br />but it only hurts you <br />as all hopes and feelings of love pass <br />because silence protects the silent one <br />and safely hides their feeling <br />a cowards way of dealing <br />as all chance of love will soon pass <br />those silent in love are heartless people <br />and all their dreams will come and go <br />and never come to pass <br />because silence makes a mockery of love <br />silence is violence <br />You who hide behind silence <br />Never risk nor feel the beauty of love <br />You're void of emotion and all hope of love will silently pass <br />From this heart now broken <br />whose dreams of love were spoken <br />Hey silence! Kiss my A-! <br />I have no more time to waste on you <br />because life is for the daring <br />and not those dwelling on the past <br />life will be over soon enough <br />and moves by much too fast <br />no pain..no gain <br />as silence safely on the sidelines does remain <br />and of it all, only LOVE will last <br />Silence only leads to love in vain. <br /> <br />© James T.
