Silence Is a Language

I see your muted struggle.
I wish that you'd find peace.
Release the pain you juggle.
This drama needs to cease.

My tears have solid frozen,
And words no longer flow.
For 'tis silence that I've chosen.
Wounds heal slow.

Most eloquent is that tongue.
Truth it reveals to each.
For words are but fabrications.
They lie through speech.

I'm beyond the desire to speak.
Though this do know,
For you my love is the highest peak.
But please...let go.
