The Silence That Left Us - CAELIS Babylon
I met her where the traffic never slept
Coffee after work walking past lit windows
She laughed like we got away with something
When I asked her to marry me
She said yes
A ring caught the kitchen light
My hands shook
Then her parents smiled polite
And cut her down
No, don't go
I should have said it, I stayed quiet
You paid for it, I let that silence choose our ending
No, don't go
I should have said it
Two men boxed me in
By her parents street
I washed blood off my lip
And drove home slow
We ran before sunrise
Trunk packed tight
In the new town
The room went cold on us
On that bed
Streetlights driving your face
You asked why
I knew the answer
And I said nothing
No, don't go
I should have said it, I stayed quiet
You paid for it, I let that silence choose our ending
No, don't go
I should have said it
You came back from the store shaking
Eyes down
I can't keep making you pay
You whispered I stood in the doorway
While you folded our life
My love sounded like fear
When I begged you to stay
Don't go
I should have said it
At the bus station don't came back again
You held my face said I love you
Then let go
Don't go
I should have said it
I watched the taillights fading
Didn't move
Years later
I still hear your question in my silence
