What words do I use
When I'm speechless
Unable to utter a sound
With my trembling being
Breathing from the gut
Eyes hidden behind the glass
A single rose on my mind
Crimson petals twirling around
In the midst of wind flying out
Of the window in my ear
And, if you're quiet enough
You might just hear the beat
Of a drum in my chest
For silence sometimes
Speaks best
