My Vow of Silence

My words cost me my love
My words cost me a friend
My words hurt everyone around me
My words have come to an end

My voice has been silenced
I'm taking these thoughts away
I don’t want to be the source of pain
That’s why I'm giving up my words today

I'm sorry I said those things
I'm sorry I ever spoke
It was like a horrible nightmare
That I wish I could have awoke.

My friends have turned away
Now I sit all alone
Never laughing, never singing
Never to talk on the phone

But now my words are locked inside
Because my friends will never trust me
I have become what I most hate
A deceitful lying lemon tree
