My Silence

I keep my lips sealed let their hearts be healed. mouth remains closed the urdge stays opposed. watching the world, with lips staying curled. much to learn without the burn. silence is best let your vocal cords rest perminently can't hurt them no matter the outcome wont say a word It'll be unheard. If I must speak, cover you ears. I am too weak, Dont waste your tears my lips havent bent to the shape of a word in 24 hours. Letting my thoughts out in typed towers. mouth shut, eyes open Watching to learn. waiting to earn, my privlage of speech time to let life teach. If you listen to my silence, you wont find violence. yet you'll see a full moon dripping with a gentle toon. my silence is listening, to the song glistening, off the moon's light a calming site. my silence is learning, waiting for times turning. sitting uner the stars wondering what is ours. my silence can be hurting. might be to avoid asserting. knowing the fault is mine could be a sign my silence flexes and flows sweet like spring's first rose. or just another introvert trying to hide the hurt. My silence is part of me, loving it is key. to the locked parts of my heart another peice of the puzzle showing art once all the peices collide ill feel it inside. heart finally complete ready for life nectar, so sweet untill then, maybe I'll stay silent again. letting words tumble out of my fingers and may my words linger
