Silence, Love

People say knowledge gives you power, 
But ignorance saves people from pain, from the truth,
Perfection dies with knowledge, 
Ignorance is comforting, 
Love lives in silence, 
Ecstasy is killed by words,
Hearts break because of the spoken language, 
Verbal confessions end relationships, 
So don't say a word, just hold me, 
Words not needed, only kisses, 
Your words cut, but your touch soothes, 
So cover me with your love,
And cover your mouth with your hand!
