I Kept Quiet
I kept quiet so I could keep you,
couldn’t bring myself to make a sound;
The loudest silence is the truth,
nothing feels like when you’re around;
Bit my lip, because I had to try,
insidious ‘appropriate protocol’;
You’re such a blessing forced to lie,
spinning me into a fierce free fall;
Knots, doubled over with insane
heart pounding like an explosive;
Choking on this endless refrain,
is there a word stronger than love?
It means everything to see you happy;
The loudest silence is the truth,
wanted to shout; so damn badly;
I kept quiet so I could keep you.
