Some Things You Can't Tell (OctPoWriMo2015-Day 7)

They said to stay away

You'll be no good for each other

Neither of us listened that day

Now we wouldn't choose another 

They listed the reasons why

Aired out your dirty laundry

But I didn't bat an eye

That's when they came after me

But you kept still and stayed

And that made me smile

We stopped caring what they say

5 years...I think we lasted a while

Much longer than they thought

Turns out we fit well

They never found the heartache that they sought

I guess some things you just can't tell...

The prompt for today was the road less traveled. We had to think of a time we didn't listen to popular opinion and ended up thankful we didn't. 

What Isn't Said (OctPoWriMo2014)-Day 7

Sometimes silence speaks louder than words

And sometimes it's easier to hear you when you say nothing at all

Words lie

Silence is the truth

And sometimes I understand you better on mute

Cold stares and unsure thoughts

It's all revealed when not a word is spoken

Working tongues are evil

Hearing nothing is hard

But I'd rather be set free than imprisoned and barred

Silence is golden

That's never been more true

The sound of lips coming apart can tear

Closed mouths can open hearts

Don't worry if you see me coming apart

Because it's better to be released by the truth

Than to go on believing in a lie

Tongues with all their sounds are overrated

So I'll bathe in your silence

And remember that moments like these are timeless
