Silent Screaming

And more...




I found you there
Standing by the door
You were smiling silently
Looking down where
I could not read your thoughts
But I could see
You were thinking
And I wondered what about
You started moving closer now
Nothing out of the ordinary
That’s where I wish it would stop
One day what you think
Will come out on top
Until then we must be content
Walk in circles until we are spent

Dance with me please
This dance of sweet misery

A movement of the hand
It grabs my attention
Sitting next to me you don’t realize
That each movement holds my breathing
I’m sitting here and I’m wishing
That these few minutes will last forever
The touch of your body against mine
Sitting together and you probably don’t even recognize
That existing here only for these minutes with you
That would suit me just fine
Sitting there without a sound
Only the creaking of the house
And the breathing of me and you
But I realize we aren’t alone
And as the shadows fall I start to sigh
I tried to say what is on my mind
Too many people crowded around
Waiting for the news to spill on out

They see, the trees see
The birds and the bees see
All know that we know
And the dance is sweet
But my brain’s tired and so are my feet
