(Pause)
Yes.
It was all in the pause
Everything that wasn’t said,
Everything that was going to be said,
Everything.
A messy universe hidden in a vacuum,
In one big bang a new chaotic reality was born
But before that
There was the pause.
The ‘yes’ that followed the silence
Was nothing more than a cork in a wave
Unable to stop the city of love drowning in violence.
The pause was there before,
The silence was trapped in my throat before,
Within it was all that needed to be said
Released in an explosion
The spark offered by your question
‘Are we alright?’
Boom.
At least, I thought, we’ve erased the silence
The pause is over.
Kicking the debris with your toe
You said ‘I wish you’d tried’
(Pause)
Yes.
It was all in the pause
Everything that wasn’t said,
Everything that was going to be said,
Everything.
A messy universe hidden in a vacuum,
In one big bang a new chaotic reality was born
But before that
There was the pause.
The ‘yes’ that followed the silence
Was nothing more than a cork in a wave
Unable to stop the city of love drowning in violence.
The pause was there before,
The silence was trapped in my throat before,
Within it was all that needed to be said
Released in an explosion
The spark offered by your question
‘Are we alright?’

At least, I thought, we’ve erased the silence
The pause is over.
Kicking the debris with your toe
