She looks at him thru a haze
A fog of love and anger.
He looks back, amazed
Sensing they’re in danger.
Knowing that they’ve run out of second chances.
Neither could know what their hearts did hold. Their silence has a sound.
One that’s shaped from the ground
They’ve both held onto so long.
Someday they’ll come around.
For now, their silence has a sound. He flicks his last ash into the tray
That last drag pulled
Knowing that he cannot stay away
His nerves have dulled. His silence has a sound.
Pushed & pulled his way through life
Now feeling like he’s drowned.
Someday, he’ll come around.
For now, his silence has a sound. Her wayward ways left her all alone.
Sadness greets her sunshine.
Walking the street, like few have known.
This is how she’ll stay… Her silence has a sound.
Kicked & screamed around all life’s corners.
The only place for her is down.
Don’t know if she’ll come around.
There is a silence to her sound. There is a silence in a sound.
The before & after of time & place.
Embrace the noise inside of you.
It will leave you when your lips go blue.
