The Colors Silence Leaves Behind

Marcus Brown

I can hear it in the words you speak.
Yet you still make me so weak..
This is the silence between lies,
for I can hear the screams behind your eyes.

Now I understand how black feels.
Without light... it never heals.
Slow days endlessly spin by,
dragging onward until the day I die.

I can feel it when you touch me,
Slowly giving up on me...
This is the silence between lies,
for I can feel the regret that lies within your eyes.

You label me your faithful gray,
always longing for a brand new day.
The blackness still lingers inside,
while the other colors seem to hide.

I can still taste it in your kiss,
the closeness from him you miss.
This is the silence between lies,
for your kiss tastes just like good-byes.

You stabbed a knife through my heart,
ripping the delicate rainbow apart.
Every little color in the rainbow,
seems to me will never glow.

I can see it when you stare,
you're eyes saying you're not there.
This is the silence between lies,
for I can see the deceit behind your eyes.

Mastering the art of being nothing,
dragging me down until I give up trying.
You were the drug that helped me though,
somehow you'd always get me through.

Every moment we're together,
I feel you slipping farther.
This is the silence between lies,
for every moment is darker skies.

The sun radiating a brilliant glow,
weeping for me, just to show...
For everything I've had to pay,
still brings forth another day.

Don't cry, it's not worth your tears.
Slowly bringing back all my fears..
This is the silence between lies,
for every tear part of me dies.

Fear grips me, holds me down,
My whole life I've been a lost and found.
What has passed.. this known tragedy,
will forever be remembered by me.

This is the ending of the colors shining,
Your words, empty distance, and bad timing.
This is the silence between lies,
somehow I've missed all the signs...
