Silence and I (written 3-8-2007)

If I cried out loud

over sorrows I’ve known

and the secrets I’ve heard

it would ease my mind

someone sharing the load

but I won’t breathe a word

While the children laughed

I was always afraid

of the smile of the clown

so I close my eyes

till I cant see the light

and I hide from the clouds

I can hear the cry

of the leaf on a tree

as it falls to the ground

I can hear the call

of an echoing voice

and there's no one around

We’re two of a kind

silence and I

we need a chance to talk things over

two of a kind silence and I

we'll find way to work it out
