Silence Doesn't Lie

Silence does by doing naught

Silence means more than plenty

It reveals all and you are caught

It holds more than all you hear or see

Silence awkward and tense

Trying to hold onto thoughts blank

Nervous and unsure in your presence

Too occupied with appearance and rank

Silence is a right and protection

Saying nothing is nothing against

Speaking through analysis and selection

Solely which way in which is insistent

Silence is a dropped case and consent

Do not be victimized by such

Leaving things unsaid to be bent

Tormented between ropes of double dutch

Silence comfortable and warm

Sitting awake and asleep

Cuddling in to survive the storm

Surviving the falls no matter how steep

Silence familiar and all-knowing

Speaks more than any else upholds

Intuition bound by wired heartstrings

Decades in seconds in which it molds

Silence is the timid yet mighty thespian

Silence doesn’t lie to anyone
