Quiet

by Barbara
(Dos Palos, California USA)

He's gone out of my life
He left me high and dry,
He doesn't know what I went through
He didn't know how much I could cry.

My tears made a river
It was long and endless,
I will always feel cold
And always loveless.

He was not the bad guy
He didn't have a choice,
I'm without words
And now I lost my voice.

He wanted me to speak up
But I told him I couldn't,
I'm gonna keep my mouth shut
People say I shouldn't.
