You Don't Have to Speak

You don’t have to speak,
For your eyes say so much more.
You don’t have to speak.
It doesn’t matter anymore.

The cross that you carry,
Its weight not yours alone to bear.
If grave deeds were done,
I choose not to care.

The verdict of this world
Together we will face
Your crime against me
I am willing to erase

In this world of silence,
As everything remains still,
As we’re frozen in time,
I promise you I will.

I held your hands,
Wiped the tears from your eyes.
All that I Am and will be,
I will sacrifice.

I press my lips against yours...
You don’t have to speak.
