now in this silence
 this silence of my life
 empty words
 fall
 though this sound
 
 like falls dead leaves
 i float down this stream
 waiting
 for the waters
 to drown me
 
 why can i never say
 what must be said
 am i too afraid
 that they
 will take it all away
 
 now in this silence
 i watch as my life
 fades away
