There are no words
To carry me through
This waiting conversation
But the silence is eager
Crying out
Filling the here and now
And what would words do
But scar the skin
That never quite seemed to fit
And stretch a distance
Already made great
Echoing bitter noise
No…
Better to claim silence
Than banish tomorrow
By speaking today
The many words
That should remain unsaid
