peace

I told them to speak now or forever hold their peace
i was talkin to ma tears

picking up wrong numbers with the quickness cuz maybe...

i said, "tears, speak now or forever hold it."

taking long hot showers as my refuge

i asked them what shall they say of their peace?

sleeping all hours of the day and night to not feel

I urged them to utter now or never

calling others to tell me what I already know

but i couldn't cry

they chose to forever hold their peace
