unsaid
deb quietly we talk of future things,
baring muffled hearts,
yet afraid- not quite the word-
reluctant to put into words
what my heart screams.
i want to tell you,
to see that look spring to your eyes,
to feel the warmth it brings
to hear you gently say it too
-my heart waits in the pregnant pause
between "goodbye" and "click"-
waits expectantly, hoping...
but once again, you talk of puppies.
-i know what you mean,
but my heart aches just the same-
there's no harm in words, really, is there?
i just wanted to tell you that
i love you...

unhinged so many things that he left unsaid for six months, he admitted to me last night in a moment of clarity...so many things falling into place now

i told myself that i would never let myself forgive him for the scars but there is something beyond conscious choice that makes him the way he is and part of me will always be in love with that

pete i've been trained to look for silences. seeing them in my own work leaves me uneasy. it deserves to be said, but the political cut of the page-limit leaves thoughts profound hidden and critiques unpreempted. they are seen, but cannot be addressed for that is all left unsaid. 061218
what's it to you?
