Ain’t it funny

How love slipped away, said his mother to her lover.
Now we’re free to choose, said his father to his lover.
And every moment was wasted, said your mother to your father.
From then on, nobody ever heard your voice in that house.
Not your mother, not your father, not your sister, they never even heard a sound.

This may break your heart, said your father to his lover.
The baby boy may not survive, said your mother to her lover.
You can leave this place any time, said your mother to your father to his lover.
The silence from the room caused no suspicion.

Sometimes staying is the hardest, said your mother to her lover.
I can’t be the one you build on, said your father to his lover.
We sat in silence, unmoved by guilt, said his father to his mother to her lover.
Darkened skies await the morning, there’s no sunshine.
No, they never even heard a sound.

I regret nothing, said your mother to your father.
Only moments ago I knew the reason, said your father to your mother.
We keep our souls intact, said his mother to his father to his lover.
And await salvation, said his father to his mother to her lover.
Without a word, the answers fell from the sky.
To his mother, to his father, to his sister, to their lovers.
