summer 83 & peaches

is it better to speak or die?

i heard the sentence
my mom was reading,
with my head resting on her lap.

she knew the words she was saying
would hit me hard,
as you and i were the princess and the knight.

i told you about it,
you wanted to know
whereas he spoke or not.

we knew,
we just did,
that phrase was made for us.
