Unspoken

The tears are abandoned, bitter and broken,
Dust fell to settle on words left unspoken,
We revel in silence when comfort is gone,
Clouded with voices we all live among,

Strength that is woven feels naked and bare,
A devouring cold and darkness we share,
Hearts may restore to whispering songs,
Captive to sorrow as life marches on,

Torn into pieces to fall by the way,
Perishing thoughts of words yet to say,
People remembered, prisoners of time,
We're left never really saying goodbye,
