When Silence Fails

a deeper meaning

When silence fails
to bring me what I need
I'd never understand anyway
I can only learn and take heed
To the thoughts that I am given
so seldom brought before
I look at what I am missing
I see I need no more
The answer lies within me
And peace does come to rest
For as the world rages on
I can only do my best
I've given some here and there
Still so little left to be
And only hope to hang on too
For the rest has gone from me
I know its out there somewhere
And I feel I'm going blind
For the silence becomes so deafening
As it racks across my mind
And so my mind has wandered
And it's all left me any way
Which seems will be just as well
For my heart is here to stay
And still the pain courses my veins
Not to get the best of me
Will you look inside here
Will you come to me
For no longer am I bound
No longer am I free
And I'll find that bit of goodness
One day my heart will see
And I live to see the goodness
while the pain it does impale
i'll only exist in this world
while the silence, it does fail
