Speak or speak not, silence is talking
Absent words flow from your spirit
Silent phrases shouting,stalking
Inaudible ambush, my heart can hear it
Voices loud as a midsummer storm
My psyche crushed in the silent swarm

The heart has ears, it lies in wait
It twists the silence into hate
Turning stillness to anxious gloom
Fueling the fear of impending doom

A heart gone rogue controlling the mind
It’s a battle Royale just to be fine
The mind must take careful command
Not allow the heart to independently stand

Natural enemies forced to coexist
An ongoing war within will persist
Until a way is found to exist side by side
The mind in the driver’s seat, the heart as it’s guide
Then no longer the silence is feared
Absent words no more are smeared
Stillness then, becomes a retreat
And the only voices heard are the ones that speak
