The dreadful silence,

That I have to fill somehow,

To get to love you.

The dreadful silence,

That serves as a barrier,

One I cannot break.

The dreadful silence,

When my mouth can’t utter words,

With no sort of fear.

The dreadful silence,

You might answer me with,

When I try to know.

The dreadful silence,

Stills my heart and spooks my nerves,

At what will occur.

I can’t get over,

This stew of intrigue, love, fear,

This damn silence.
