She sits near me
smiling
as we talk about nothing
and joke about everything
our faces show
what we dare not say
the truth
tension is thick in the air
begging for a confession
but with diginity on the line
neither of us can say
what our heart desires
Thats when I realize
I'm a coward
to a sweet young girl
who has the power
to bring me to my knees
and crush me with a simple word
"NO"
a little but powerful word
that has sent many a man
to their Death
but her face tells me different
and her grin empowers me
to be brave and daring
and to finally crush
the deafing silence
of our hearts |
