If Only You Would Speak

Don’t you walk away from me When words should suffice Don’t you turn away from me When you should hold me close Don’t you go away from me When I still feel for you This loud silence echoes Threatens to split my head after my heart by you My tears I shed For you, for what should be and us You are here yet you are gone To another you have given your heart Left me without a cleft Yet you remain with me Your presence only pains me You love somebody else yet you won’t tell me the truth I ask and you don’t respond Why do you torture me? Remain here while you want to leave Pretend that alls the same Yet your loves gone cold for me Why do you hurt me so? Your silence will not speak Yet it means more than you can ever say
