It's safer this way, If we don't talk. If you won't listen And I won't walk. There's no leaving, And no fighting A perfect seeming peace There's no passion, And no loving No sense of loss, or grief. Just biding time, 'Til one more line Writes my memory. With all we've lost, And all we've done Reduced in clarity. My god we once were lovers Daring life itself. Now we wait for life to die, Because it's all that we have left.
