silence

A teacher of mine once said
it's the quiet children
that want to say the most
but they just don't know how to say it
And as you sit there
quiet and secretly angry at me
I know that there are things
that you want but cant say to me
Your silence speaks volumes
that your mouth wont
If only I could read your face
maybe I could fix things
but I can't read Braille
Your smile is comforting
but the silence is screaming at me
I once thought that the opposite
of your love was hate
but now I know
it's silence
