Silent tongues

Silent tongues and cracked lips
They’re telling it all with pleading eyes
They shift their weight between their hips
Afraid to let out their truths they only tell lies
I’d be afraid to if it were me
A secret so large
It could fill the sea
And no one wants to lead the way and take charge
So they sit and look down never up
They try to hide their faces in shame
And each stare down into their plastic cup
It’s an endless silent game
Never thinking past their silent show
That maybe I already know
