Of No Sound

I know I have turned away before
and I have stood on weak ground
you know I am night
and of no sound

I don't say why
or tell you of my pain
keep it to myself to spare you
you flood in your own rain

I turn away
won't let you see
my tears fall streaking
remaining free

but I still love you
I'll allow your sight to this
the aching tremble that you send
will not cause you miss

the love that you inspire
I am of no sound
I hold your sweetness to the sky
and turn my tears to the ground

you will hear nothing.
