While Silence Roars

I hear the silent roar
Of words you never say
I seek for words to hold
While you just walk away

I never asked for fondness
I never asked for Love
I never asked to be
The one you're dreaming of…

But you promised me
In a sacred vow
That you'd always be
With me, here and now…

But footsteps down the hall
Now echo… so unkind
And faultless tears will fall
While silence roars and grinds…
