In my silence

by Nearly but not quite   Feb 2, 2006


Behind my tight closed lips,
Pretend you understand my mental blips.
Behind my hard, impassive eyes,
All they see is groans and sighs.

Don't pretend you know
What's going on.
It's not a glow,
Everything is gone.

Behind unhearing ears,
All they hear is silent tears.

A silent wish, a prayer a hope.
I don't care if you understand,
Just leave me alone!
On a beach we're just grains of sand.

    Sad but enjoyable. I like the style of this its not so mainstream and sounds more original. The last line was a good finish and left quite an impression on me. Nice work :)
