Your Silence Broke the Room

Picture
There was too much idle chat,
It just became such a bore,
It rendered you unsettled,
As you got up to reach the door.

They spoke about your neighbor,
So different but a damn good friend,
Who really didn’t fit in with them,
He was out but you were in.

You didn’t say a thing,
You just listened to their everything,
And not one word passed by, challenged,
You just let them run their mouth free,
They ripped at you, they ripped at me.

We don’t need this club,
We don’t need to be a member,
We don’t need to be pretenders,
So no foul moment, we’ll surrender.

We’d rather be a lonely pair,
My faithful girl and me,
Than belong to your foolish club,
As a member and have a key.

They rag all night, on everyone,
Who doesn’t see it their way,
Who doesn’t play the game they do,
The bigger house, the bigger car,
The golf and tennis club, the pool.
​
We don’t need this club,
We don’t need to be a member,
We don’t need to be pretenders,
So no foul comment, we’ll surrender.

We’d rather be a lonely pair,
My faithful girl and me,
Than belong to your foolish club,
As a member and have a key.

"Your silence broke the room" I like it. Last we talked, I asked if you've given some thought to using your Portal of Poetry as a platform for influence. Well, I'd say this is a quite influential piece about the joys of leading a simpler, kinder life.
