Silenced by the years All that has or has not happened All that was or was not to be Everything I thought would be mine Gone Where has it gone I can not speak of fantastic Journeys Or a life of love and caring No relationship worth mentioning No fond memories of me Inside me I do remember all of the dreams All of the things I thought I would be All of the things No one has seen All of the things locked inside me Hiding somewhere in me Along with my tears I can’t cry, I can’t share My heart has been crying for so many years To love and be loved My heart cries no one hears silent tears
