I wrote your poems in silence
Spoken glances soft and true
Built a temple out of patience
Lit the stars just to guide you through
But you walk past every altar
Never pause to read the signs
I was flowing in forever
You were lost between the lines
I gave you every note of meaning
Every song my soul could sing
But you heard it like a whisper
In a world that needed thunder
I loved you in a language you never learned
Every word a flame but you never burned
I carved my heart in verses you never read
Scream devotion in a dialect you left for dead
You held my hand but never held the truth
I loved you in a language that spoke of you
I traced your name in morning light
In melodies you couldn't hear
You danced to rhythms out of sync
While I bled harmony and fear
I translated all my longing into gestures, into grace
But you mistook my aching for a smile upon my face
I gave you every shade of meaning
Every note my soul could sing
But you heard it like a whisper
In a world that needed thunder
I loved you in a language you never learned
Every word a flame but you never burned
I carved my heart in verses you never read
Scream devotion in a dialect you left for dead
You held my hand, no help from all the truth
I loved you in a language that spoke of you
Now I speak in echoes, in the ruins of my tongue
You were fluent and leaving, I was fluent in love
And if someday you'll listen to the silence that remains
You'll hear the song I gave you in the spaces between pain
I loved you in a language you never learned
Every word a flame but you never burned
I carved my heart in verses you never read
Scream devotion in a dialect you left for dead
You held my hand but never burn tell the truth
I loved you in a language that spoke of you
