It’s the words you don’t say

That sometimes matter most

That moment filled with silence 

That leaves our love a ghost

Struggling to find closure

When the life it had is gone

Hanging on to every thread

For without one it is none

 

Hush now, just go steady

Please don’t try and fill the gap

Enough’s not been said already

For me to understand the rap

Just take it now as read

That chance has dealt its card

And what’s been left unsaid

Has left my heart cold and hard

Well here's a right dilemma

of the meta-normative!

To take it now as read

and requiring no comment,

or to treat it like

it's done and dusted!

hmm, yeah, pretty dramatic hey!
