Silent Moments

A SILENT MOMENT STILL A SILENT MOMENT, SHE NEVER SPOKE. 


It all starts when he gets out of his bed 
Collect his unfinished dreams then head on down for blank stares 
From the demons that lived on down stairs 
And that my friends 
Is when his poem starts 
He says 

A silent moment still a silent moment he never spoke 
Mom,love,me,find,dad,come,home
Now 
Take back the old flashing memories and grant me with happy ones 
the ones
That only fly when I show them how 
A dream can mess up a child's mind 

The ones that they say can kill up to nine nigga at a time but at the same moment can still hold a smile
And that my friend is when her poem starts

A silent moment still a silent moment 
She never spoke 

Painting perfect picture with with fake smiles
She wrote 
Faceless people like to hold 
Lies 
Mama never gave me a place to hide 
My cries at night 
Light skin sweetie 
Gets a lot of beating from the dark knights in cold buildings
But never gets on her knees to beg for a ride 
And that my friends is why she never looks u in the eye when she says Hi 

Looks down at street cars 
Hoping to catch the next guy who would take her life 
Pay her next bill and maybe name her wife 
And that's why that night 
She never spoke 

So he wrote 
A silent moment still a silent moment
I'll stay silent till mother comes home
