Split Your Heart, Not Your Tongue

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. 

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
