Sound of Silence

Speaking nothing, but saying still

What words cannot describe;

The sound of silence teaches

You the language of the eyes.

For though the girl spoke not a word

Of her own living hell,

Look closely and you will see

How hard she really fell.

And then that boy, so young in  age,

Just couldn't tell her how

His feeling hurt for need for her,

But you should see them now.

Walking past each others sides

Without a second glance,

Then both the girl and boy, they think,

"I need another chance."

Yes, silence has a way with words

Unlike its spoken start;

For it displays the feelings hidden

In the broken heart.
