Not a Word

Not a word I say with my tongue That you will believe. Truth coming from my heart Lies falling on your ears And you believe what you want to believe. Not a word I will write on your skin That it is fake Like the plastic smiles Hypocrites wear. Everytime You say to me That I'm lying, It kills my soul By tearing me into pieces Like a hungry, angry lioness. Not a word My friend I will ever tell you And you will take it for what it is. You have built a wall of fear around you; It is truth-proof as in bullet-proof as in love-proof. It hurts, It is just disappointing That I can not get to your heart To whisper to it How you're the one for me And that I will be waiting for you. I hate to say that I'm officially giving up As in giving in my resignation For this job was not meant for me. I can not melt a heart of stone Nor love he who doesn't believe he can love For he can never love in return Unless he learns to love. I hate to say That it is all over; My imagination,my fantasy! That I can no longer wait For a mute to speak. There are no miracles there Just as, There are no miracles in love. I hate to say goodbye But I love to say goodbye When my efforts are trashed to chuff Like it all has been in vain; For I don't want to be Called a failure or dirty loser! Worriers don't quit They live as the worriers they are But filled with worries. I want to be free Like a bird And fly high And soar in the air Like an eagle For I'm a conquerer Not of hearts But of hopeless romance That yields not A drop of lasting laughter. Not a word Have I said today That is not true. But like I said You believe what you want to believe For not a word Is going to change your heart Or redeem our love!
