She was drowning in emotion
with no outlet in sight
trying not to cause a commotion
or another damn fight.

The silence was deafening
causing a great divide
felt like they were worlds apart
when sitting side by side.

She put the music on
to fill up the void
hoping their words could be
the much-needed voice.

But a million love songs later
and she still didn't know
how to communicate the love
she was so desperate to show.
