Maybe it's better to get comfortable in silence-
at least there is no chaos.
Maybe it's better we don't speak-
at least no voices raised, no words thrown like weapons.
Maybe it's better we stay physically distant-
at least there's no room for harm, no bruises or blame.
Maybe it's better we walk our separate paths-
at least the battles end, and peace can begin.
Maybe… just maybe… we're better off living our separate lives-
at least we won't keep breaking each other
