So lets all stand around and watch
Not say a word
As the two fought
The voices rise up
Still not a word
All close friends
But not close enough to help
No one say a word
Hateful spurs spit out
Don't say a word
The pressure is deeper
Emotions flare
Not even a helpful word
One walks off in the open rain
Don't go after her
Not a word
You see her later
Pretend nothing happened
Don't speak a word
Emotionally hurt
Now she doesn't speak a word to you
