words of silence

I was walking down the aisle

When I saw this little girl

She looked at me in the eye

And I asked why

Eyes fired up with passion

A passion I don’t know

Either anger or distress

Or maybe for another

She answered me simply

With a grin on her face

Slowly uttering words

And it came past my ear

It was silence that I heard

Not even a resonance after

Simply silence from her mouth

Not peace if you consider

On my way home

All I can remember was her

The dull look on her doll face

And those silent uttered words

I rest my head wondering

What it was she meant

The silence kills my spirit

For I’ve never heard it before

That was the sound of silence

From a little girl

A girl from my past

Who followed me here

I’ve never heard that silence

For it never meant peace

All it brought was misery

From a little girl troubled before

That little girl wants her father

But she can never have

For the past cannot be fixed

Due to his imprudent act

This little girl was shun to darkness

For everyone left her alone

No one came to rescue

When this little girl needed the most

All she can do is stay aside

For she doesn’t know what she’s worth

She doesn’t know her purpose

Or why she’s burdened so

When you look into her eyes

All you’ll see is emptiness

For this little girl never found

A spark in her life

I looked into her eyes

Trying to share what I have inside

Even though I went through the same

The silence that she brought was incomparable

The misery she holds

Is wrapped into her very soul

All those years

She waited, but no father came

All she wanted was a dad

For I know what it felt

A father figure they say

Even though you know you wont have it

That little girl I saw

Uttered the words of silence

Its not peace she gives

But trouble you’ll see in her eyes

I was once alone

Even with family around

I asked my mom why dad left

All she can answer is I don’t know

Now he’s coming home

I’m going to ask why

We’re not that bad of a family

But why did he leave and said goodbye

They say we should stick together

But I can’t

It’s simply because I’ll never find

The peace within my soul

Just like that little girl

Who envy’s her friends for having their dad’s

Just like that little girl

Left out for the silent past
