When we don't Speak



When We don't Speak

A deafening sound , echos down our homes halls
Its fervent impression , ricochets off the walls

What did I say , what did I do
While finding the silence , now infused within you

We've laughed and we've cried , we have been through so much
That I'm finding it hard , and I'm missing your touch

If there's anything now , that would make me rejoice
Is to look in your eyes , and to hear your sweet voice

Life seems so heavy , thoughts gather noise
They muster the essence , of sorrows and joys

Please find in your heart , to now forgive me
And loose me from sorrow , your love sets me free
