SILENTLY

Silently,

I pray.

Silently,

I wait.

Silently,

I say,

"Is my love,

Too late?"

Silently,

I cry.

Silently,

I shout.

Silently,

I'll die.

If I don't,

Call out.

Silently,

I fly,

On wings.

Silently,

I soar,

Above the pain.

Silently,

Sad songs,

I sing.

Over an' over,

Again.
