Silent Words



Tong tied and twisted,
Unable to say.
Bound by a promise
but yet I prey.

Words I long to hear Waiting patiently,
As I think they may come near.
The hart fills with pain,
With passion that flows
Through the veins.

Fooled, could I be?
Even though I don't want to believe

Tong tied and twisted,
Unable to say
Bound by a promise,
But yet I prey.

Time goes by and still I wait.
Tears fill my eyes, that flow every day
Waiting, waiting for him to say,
Those unspoken words
And again I prey.
