just a whisper

envy stirs within me now
though knowing is admitting
with each beat insure a vow
a promise seems quite fitting

for her the silence still remains
the jealous sun does shine
and though i love, i must refrain
for she's no longer mine

freedom of feeling has taken time
and guilt has garnished woe
best be i to play the mime
with silence, let her go

a sudden jerk inside me says
speak before you die
i've been a fool in many ways
i fear i can't comply

to me, her eyes entrap my soul
their beauty defines grace
for her alone my bell doth toll
even though i've been replaced
