Silent Tears

SILENT TEARS

"Sometimes I wonder
Why you can't hear me
If you'd only listen
But maybe you fear me
You say I'm trippin
I feel like a Christian 
Trying to prove my love
But like jesus, you missing

On this journey I feel all alone
I talk to you nobody's home
Empty my mind
Cordless phone
Trying to reach
Your heart,
Dead end zone
Plenty of times
I hit solid stone

Put up blocks
Trying to hide my fears
But it only produce silent tears
They never fall
Clear glue in my eyes
Killing my heart
Can you hear my
Dry cries

I tried to speak
You jump right in
So I stop
Let you ramble and sing
I laugh, I smile
Somtimes I grin
But my silent cry
Lies within

Sometimes I wonder
Why you can't hear me
If you'd only listen
But maybe you fear me
You say I'm trippin
I feel like a Christian 
Trying to prove my love
But like jesus, you missing

I give you my love
You refuse to feel
Its like you are made 
Of Brick and steel
Sometimes I wish to reverse
The wheel 
But my love is deep
My love is real
Trying to be superwoman 
Now I no longer feel 
I try to keep holding on
But I've  become numb
Like a newborn baby
Can't talk sucking the thumb
I've become mute
Some say dumb
But it's my heart
Its come undone

My cry is loud
Can you hear me now
Like nimbus clouds
Rain is pouring, ow ow
The pain is piercing 
Like branding a cow
But I no longer can feel
My cry takes a bow 
For the tears are gone
Silence for now
For on the inside
Snowballs they pow
Pounding my heart
Trying to release
It now
But just like you
No bullet no plow 
Can get this heart 
It's brick and steel now

Sometimes I wonder
Why you can't hear me
If you'd only listen
But maybe you fear me
You say I'm trippin
I feel like a Christian 
Trying to prove my love
But like jesus, you missing
