Silent Conversation

Been biting my tongue for quite a while

It has developed into a certain lifestyle

Choosing not to speak when I feel weak

Afraid you will merely respond with critique

Despite my hesitance I still want to let you in

And show you all the places my thoughts have been

Not knowing when the time is right

To expose my inner fight

Unable to verbalize what I want to say

So I closed my mouth and spoke to you in a silent way
Lost in my thoughts as our eyes meet

Portraying to you my feelings of defeat

When a sigh escapes my lips

You gently touch them with your fingertips

I glanced at you with a smile

Because I realized when we sat there for a while

Although no words were being said

It felt like the best conversation I have ever had
