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!
