Silence

I should stay silent

Never say a word...

My words destroy

Whenever they're heard.

I should stitch my lips together

Should empty out my mind...

So my words can't hurt you

I will stay confined.

Maybe if the silence

Is too much to bear...

I will say simple things

But only here and there.

My lips are sealed

No more hurtful words...

Look to my eyes for answers

My vision will be blurred.

Tears will fall in apology

Oh, I'm so sorry...

My words cut like a knife

I'm sorry for the strife...

My heart is apologetic

Same with my mind...

I'm sorry for the pain I've caused

How could I be so blind?
