Mute Love
Tonight I heard what I needed
A little something from another time
From another two now gone
Tonight it said, “this is what you want”
And I tried to reach, but it pulled away
Could I take a little,
taste a little,
live a little,
Of what you had…
Am I entitled?
Love tapped me on the shoulder today
Gave me orders to seek his enduring ways
Took from me love, what I wanted most
Made me chase it madly down a never-ending pathway to nothing
And it stared me down today
Made me listen to its learned ways
Said open your eyes and see
Open wide and discover what you need to believe
Mute love can never be
So by the hand did he take me
Lead me down where I could see once again
Sang, truth is what truth will always be, but mute love can never be
So many nights have I looked
Ventured into ways I can understand
Asking why so many times…why can’t it be me?
Expecting an answer
When it’s right in front of a face
A face that is masked…too frightened to reveal
True feelings
Now I beg myself
To try to forget…just put it aside
Let it sit and maybe you’ll never see-
But love overpowers…and I am weak
For I want to follow
For I want to fall
into what I’ve created for myself
Let my all spill onto your conscience
Everything I ever wanted…let the pieces collect themselves
For I am tired of hiding
Tired of living behind lies
Lover, let me wait no more
I am broken by my love
For you
