The Duality of Silence

The duality of silence Is quite a frightening beast Someone said silence can be golden Silence can mean peace Silence can send a message Silence can make your feelings clear Sometimes silence screams so loud Everything else in your life you cannot hear Quiet Contentment Being so comfortable you don't need to speak Silence can mean you are in love Lying with the person your soul does seek Silence can mean you are not worth their words It can cut and cause pain I have used you up From you there is nothing more for me to gain A silent look Can tell you more than a lifetime of words Looking quietly at each other Can be more beautiful than any speech you've ever heard Silence can project anger I have so much disdain for you Daggers shot in your path Leaves you hurt and wondering what to do Silence can mean I'm too hurt to talk Or it can mean I love you As you hold hands and silently walk Don't leave a person in silence Make sure your message is clear Make sure your silence is loud enough Silence so loud that the person can hear So be careful with your silence It can bring pleasure or pain You are in charge of your silence You are the one that gives silence its name
