Awkward Silence

Location

Some say silence is golden

given the right circumstances

those some are right

But there's nothing more awkward

than silence fill time

the nine to five that never came to an end

And you know thare are words to say

but they just don't come

This silence burns you deeply

muting your vocal cords completely

Zipping your lips shut

This silence we chose

because after we fight there is nothing to say 

Nothing to do nothing you can do

Nothing to say at all

So we just let the tears fall

So silent you can hear the pieces of my heart falling

Out of my chest and dropping to the floor

up out of my mouth the words want to come

But the awkward silence stills them

Locking them away behind the doors of a crying spirit

It was you who walked out those doors and shut them on my feelings

Just to save yours

How selfish can you be but i cannot blame you

Because i hurt you too 

I know i am the reason for this temporary part 

But if you flip throught the pages of my life

You will see a work of art

Roller coasters of emotions and mountains of secrets untold 

Secrets i want to scream and confess to the heavens

To take this load of my chest

But the awkward silence says no

these are not your words to confess

I will let you know when i feel its okay to speak

So in anger and frustration my heart still silences

Not one word pours from these lips

I clench my fist with the urge to scream

but i cant

Why does this happen when i see you

i'll say irrelevant things but not what needs to be said to repair you

repeair us our trust is gone with the wind its dust

can't you see that i have somthing to say

SPEAK FIRST SO THAT I MAY SAY IT

BREAK DOWN THESE WALLS

PLEASE i beg of you speak first

please dont let the awkard silence consume you too
