Silent Heart
Take your hat off and you shut the door
Place your lunch can on the kitchen floor
There are no messages on the telephone
Another evening to be all alone
Wishing that you had more time to spend
Never thought that it would ever end
Life they say has its ups and downs
Stories written by circus clowns
Love was ours until death do part
Still feel the beating of a silent heart
Empty arms outstretched in the rain
untouched lips that cry out in pain
Lie alone upon your double bed
Touch the pillow where she laid her head
In the darkness you seem to be so weak
Feel the teardrop running down your cheek
Alarm goes off and you begin your day
Wishing the pain would somehow go away
Same routine each day an endless storm
Only memories left to keep you warm
Loneliness refuses to depart
But you find comfort in a silent heart.
