Don't petrify me
With your unseemly thoughts
Or your careless responses
That wrench at my tormented soul
And strum at just the right strings
To bring up the pain I once felt
The scars I hope I had hidden
Beneath the stains of time
Don't petrify me
With unwanted questions
Or your false sense of humour
That leaves no room
For what actually matters -
The feelings of love
We see in each other's eyes
That somehow can never be expressed in words
Don't petrify me
With words that are meaningless
The things that are needless to say
Because sometimes it's the silence
That speaks even louder
Now honey, please, don't talk
Just hold me
And all will fall into place
