We Never Talked - Nina Nastasia

We never talked

About the thing

We witnessed

What sadness came

Our conversations

Stayed safe

From year to year

Like a pact we’d made

We never talked

About that thing

We witnessed

What sadness came

In the car

You’d have brought it up

But i went on

About that job

All the love

I have left

You won’t know

You won’t know

All the fear

I have left

You won’t know

You won’t know
