Variant Silence Trimeric
How funny, I only pretended to sleep.
Even while you were talking about me.
Such a perfect pout twisted up the truth,
I may be young but I am not childish.
Even while you were talking about me,
even when I was talking to myself.
Mine’s the only opinion that matters.
Such a perfect pout twisted up the truth
into a tight knot that kept on tangling.
I only pretended not to notice.
I may be young but I am not childish,
I’ll let you believe that I did not hear.
Variant silence shows everything’s changed.
