A shadow cast by fear
My voice is silent
Words stay in my heart
Every time you appear
How can I make you see
When my voice is silent
Hesitation wraps around my throat
Stopping thoughts and feelings deep inside me
Is it fear I fear
When my voice is silent
I search for courage to speak
But words fail and I taste my tears
My heart wants you to know
When my voice is silent
That it holds words to tell you
Of a love that is as pure as snow
But silence can speak in its own way
When my voice is silent
Words don’t need to be spoken
In my eyes love for you is always on display
So, listen to the language of eyes
When my voice is silent
See eyes that only see you
And are incapable of lies.
