Comfortable Silence

We don’t argue anymore

We don’t raise our voices

Conversations stay short

Easy and careful

Nothing sharp

Nothing risky

Just enough words

To get through the day

It feels calm

It feels safe

But something’s missing

In the space

We live in comfortable silence

Nothing to fix

Nothing to fight

We live in comfortable silence

Everything works

But nothing feels alive

We stopped asking questions

We stopped going deeper

Every subject stays light

Every moment stays surface

No tension

No distance

Just a quiet routine

We both understand

There’s a difference

Between peace and distance

We crossed that line

And never said it

We live in comfortable silence

No hard truth

No hard nights

We live in comfortable silence

Everything’s calm

But something’s not right

I used to think quiet meant stable

I used to think calm meant strong

But silence can grow like a wall

When the truth stays gone

Everything easy

Everything still

We live in comfortable silence

Nothing breaks

Nothing moves

We live in comfortable silence

And I don’t know

If there’s anything left to lose

Sometimes the end

Doesn’t sound like anything at all
