I Won't Say.

I won't say a word,
I will just watch you,
restlessly toss and turn,
although it hurts me,
I won't say a word.
For there's nothing,
nothing that will show,
the real me, to you,
so silence is golden,
although it pierces me,
I won't say a word.
My eyes will dry,
my soul will die,
but my heart'll still be,
although it burdens me,
I won't say a word.
Your smiles, laughter,
your tears of gratitude,
my cries, screams,
my tears of solitude,
although it kills me,
I won't say a word.
What are words so empty?
Those smiles so hollow?
Tears are real,
for the moisture I can feel,
their pathway I can trace,
as they descend down my face.
On some rainy day,
although tears nobody can see,
I won't say a word.
When the flowers will fray,
the petals will wilt,
when incense sticks burn,
along with my skin,
although it will burn me,
I won't say a word.
