the grass kept growing while you filed your forms the kids got older while you beat the norms the seasons passed while you answered your phone you built a life while you were not at home while you were busy being what you had to be the life you meant to live quietly moved on without you nobody blamed you nobody said a word the silence wasn't angry it was just unheard you were the last to know what everyone could see the cage was open all along and so were you and me while you were busy being what you had to be the life you meant to live quietly moved on without you
