When You've Nothing to Say

What do you say

When you've nothing to say?

The words are all jaded

And you're moving away.

*

Through good times and bad,

At the end of the day,

You are not what is wanted,

Can't be molded like clay.

*

You have considered all the angles,

And your needs now outweigh.

Staying would be costly,

And you have nothing left to pay.

*

There is no longing left,

And no begging to stay.

The song is all over.

No need to replay.

*

You're choosing your own life,

So what to convey?

Silently departing,

You've nothing to say.
