With silence so loud it rips through my ears like a thousand tornadoes, We Sit Barely breathing for fear of falling over the edge, We Sit Together in the same room. Alone in our own minds... We wait for it to be over, With one question neither of us knows how to answer, We Sit Drowning in the tears, afraid to break free Not willing to stop it, Unwilling to grasp the obvious, Pretending not to see the pain... We Sit Screaming in agony at the unfairness of it all Why won't one of us answer? Say what's on our minds. How we feel. Yet, through it all... We Sit Perched on a resolution, yes Unwilling to fly Blaming, soon forgiving, but Never forgetting... Why? The only answer: I don't know. We Sit No longer confident in ourselves... Alone and desolate... We Still Sit.
