And then the whole world goes quiet

It doesn't seem like there is much left to do

or to say

I wish you well I guess

Is the appropriate escalation

But that would be a lie

That's the type of line

You can't crush with a card

And inhale like rain on a broken day

I love you feels apt

But I know that’s what you want to hear

And what I explicitly do not

I want you to cry

Would be more truthful

But sometimes the truth falls short of what is real

What is heard

And I don’t think that my words were ever heard

Not in your plain of existence

I want you to walk out in front of a double decker bus

Is what I had hoped to say

But I couldn’t

Because I know that in the morning I’m going to wake up

I’m your arms

And feel your heart run through my veins

There’s nothing left to say

Is what I said

Which is a contradiction in itself

And we both know it’s a lie

We both know it a veil we hide behind

Just thick enough to cover our eyes

Because I am not brave enough to say

All those words that you expel

And it was on that day

That the whole world went quiet

And there was really nothing much to do

Or to say

Other than I love you
