His Lips Are Moving

His lips are moving
But there’s nothing coming out
And I’m laughing like I’ve never laughed before
His facial expression tells a story
That his muteness can’t relate
And I wholly understand
When you lose your voice completely
You have lost me absolutely
I am thinking that 
You might still speak your mind
But you have fought the good fight
And you’ve lost it tonight
And I am thinking that 
This very well might be the end, my former friend
