I'll make not a sound

My voice is raw, chords are tired
The sweet notes that have carried me
Are roughened by the strain
Taking into account, the audience of one
To suffer any longer
Would bring only pain
I’ll make not a sound

The lyrics carried hope, vision of a dream
Viewed by only one
Who’s heart could not seem real
The words told all the story
That never seemed to end
If only for a love to steal
I’ll make not a sound

Lessons failed to show, hidden by denial
The trappings of an ego
Making sure to only fail
It calls to me, this siren’s voice
Alarms of warning so strong
The weight about to tip the scale
I’ll make not a sound

So much time wasted, preparing for a stand
To reach out a voice of passion
To allow the courage room to take hold
I follow the strength, but it leaves me here
Left behind is emptiness
It’s touch so familiar and so very cold
Filling me with loneliness
I’ll make not a sound

With no need to look any further, I turn my eyes away
No need to show all this
Through the connection I can’t maintain
When all else can be a rock, they only give me away
Arias pour from them
Their voice as loud as mine
I’ll make not a sound

No need to worry, it will be tucked away
A secret that is ours alone
Will fail to ever see the light of day
While it is my greatest possession, hidden it shall stay
I know you can’t bare the thought
Of all they just might say
So, I’ll make not a sound
