Silent Laughs

Laughs in the distance at the foolish love

Do you feel it

Those faded memories

And mistrusted words

The ones you spoke that night

All meant nothing when the sun rose

I took flight with how good they sounded

You made me laugh and blush

The speech you made gave me hope

But in the background they're laughing

At me for trusting your words

For searching for the light in the dark

Seeing the signs and only ignoring

It seems as though I'm lost

In this struggle for your love

When I shouldn't have to compete

They know what it is but still in the game

You can't imagine the embarrassment

The frustration of being a joke

The disrespect I receive for loving

Only wanting peace to come to my heart

No more worry is all I wish

The commitment I seek 

Is all too simple

Those silent laughs you will never hear

But I know them all too well

Thank you, this is probably the most emotional one of the three "silent"
