We merely wrote

No we didn't live, we didn't die,
We didn't win and yet have let the winners walk by,

We didn't console , we didn't grief,
We didn't break away from love, because that was somethign we couldn't believe.

We didn't return to the same places, we never left,
We never gave away the whole of us, it was among the things I never even kept

We didn't believe in time, it was as ephemeral as somethign we merely count,
We didn't keep track of memories as we looked back to our lost and found

We didn't flinch, we didn't laugh or cry,
We simply learned to keep a straight face , we learned to survive

We were never broken hearted, we were broken as a whole,
And yet the pieces were never mine to keep, and so I was told

We were never real and yet you seemed to be as real as reality can be,
You were in footsteps and knock on the doors, are you hoping the silence will set me free?
