The Boy

Our silence is what hurts the 
most
i can hear the whispers of your 
gohst

pretending not to hear the 
truth
when all you showed me was 
proof

hold my hand, whisper in  my 
ear
tell me i have nothing left to 
fear

that prickle that thorne
to which you have sworne

youd never do
how could you

now these tears come 
streaming down my face
i thought id finally found my 
place

youre smile was not at its best
in your heart i was just a 
guest
