what shall i say
if by saying out i set them to nought
the emotions churning within
what shall i say
if by speaking i turn them futile
the rising tide of feelings within
what shall i say
if by telling i spoil the very effect
of praising someone one too many a time
what shall i say
if by confiding in you i reveal me in truth
and thus lose what i gained with understanding
shall i then not
choose to be quiet
or
converse to my soul
in solitude
