I am told I am too quiet
That my voice,
Which will always be
Muffled under the heavy thoughts of
"it's easier unheard"
and
"you can't be judged for words you don't say"
Is quiet
I don't need to say something
when you look someone in the eyes
and know they are thinking the same thing
I don't need to say something
when I give you all the clues
I look at you
with glassy eyes
Eyes that are crystal clear
you stare at them
and what lies behind
The panes of glass
The pain behind glass
Ghost tears you must know are there
But you don't care.
Why am I not surprised?
You glance off
Stare at the teacher
scratching his lesson into our ears
until it's engraved
I hope my eyes
That said everything
are engraved in your head
I left my door open a crack
The door to my soul
I showed you the lack of l i g h t
Now it may be lack of l i f e
You didn't care
You will care
When you realize
What will happen
Wouldn't happen
if you had cared
You care now
but now isn't then
and mistakes can be forgiven
but life can't be re-given
what you did can't be undone
because my glance held everything
and to you it meant nothing
I was quiet
Now I'm silent
