"In Silence"
Now that all is silent
Much is left to say
Like why you had to leave
Why you couldn't stay
So many things left unsaid
Things I think of as I lay in bed
I always wonder why
Why I never cried
Cried that is 'til now
Now it seems then I didn't know how
How to show my feelings
Feelings I should have shared
Shared with those who watched me simply stare
Stare at the world in a whole new image
An image that now is broken
Broken by all my tears that now fall
Fall quickly
Fall fiercely to the ground

You lead I follow,
