Your silence is so deafening loud
Even when I'm there
Yet never hearing you again
Is more than I can bear.

You look at me through seeing eyes
As if I wasn't there
Yet never seeing you again
I still must learn to bear.

You walk beside me by yourself
Knowing that I'm there,
Yet the thought of being alone
I simply could not bear.

And when I turn my back on you
With the knife you buried there,
You'll walk away without a word,
So I'll know you didn't care.
