The Children Might Hear
Keep your voice down to a whisper
So the sound does not carry through the wall
The children might hear the growing anger
And know we’re fighting once again
Just talk quietly under your breath
For I can hear you well enough
Try to control these raw emotions
And keep your pain and anger to yourself
We do not need to scream and shout
To understand how one another feels
We just have to listen that much harder
And try to find a way to love again
Once we liked to speak in whispers
In languid words of love and lust
Laughing quietly under tangled bedding
When there was no-one else to over-hear
But now there are only lies and secrets
And things we wish they didn’t know
About two unhappy people fighting
Through their noisy, tangled lives
