The Words Go Unspoken

How can you be happy?
Who knows what your thinking?
Does the pain hurt so deeply,
The tears cause your blinking.

If you had made the choice
To say what you meant,
Then things could have been better,
Your life so well spent.

But then the night comes
and the doubt starts to rise
Your thoughts fill your mind
Like the stars fill the sky.

The peace never felt
The happy images broken
The love that was lost
When The Words Go Unspoken.
