My Life In Word

SILENT

...and then I fell in love 
But that was not the plan 
We were only ever 
Meant to be lovers 
You and I 
How can I go on 
When my heart 
Is in such distress 
I'll have to make a choice 
I can keep silent 
And we can continue 
This lover's soiree 
Or I can keep silent 
And walk away 
Neither choice is appealing 
But I must consider my heart 
She has fallen hard 
And is sinking fast 
Amid unvoiced love 
Do I forsake her 
For the softness 
Of your lips 
And the tenderness 
Of your passion 
There is another option 
I could tell you how I feel 
But, I fear your rejection 
My heart would surely break 
That I could not bear 
So, I'll choose 
The lesser of two evils 
I'll keep silent 
And walk away
