Silence

Silence, an estranged friend
visits randomly and never ends
what's so serious
to act delirious
high on ambition
ideals to fruition
accomplishing when its impossible
the gain in confidence is plausible
the taste is so sweet
the better it is the harder the feat
please silence go, leave me now
the awkwardness fades and how
it grows more uncomfortable
with each pressing moment
accept the silence, hold it
because what you feel
isn't close to real
when there is nothing to say
the time occurs come what may
despite the second change the clay
of blank discussion
find the word's percussion
jump, from you mind to your mouth
and break the silence
the sudden change is violent
no longer accustomed to silent
sound, words abound
the beat goes around and round
and never stops
the thoughts
drop
and the words
flop
loosely off the lips
the mood shifts, come to grips
the language sustained
through memories remained
emotions are explained
perspective is claimed
and a new understanding framed
silence has been lost
the awkwardness forgot
cause now there is something to think of
a side to take, a push come to shove
a simple choice: fear or love
live by one or the other
but to rely on one will cover
your mind to the truth of whats real
were you feel what you say
and say what you feel
Just allow love to guide your path
its just logic or simple math
matter of fact
the silence brought
to me this thought
these words refract
from silence's tact
to allow this introspection
to understand this, is to understand
that the best times you'll ever have
is when the silence
makes you glad
