i wish you spoke
not in silence the way you do,
not in gaps only i seem to fill,
but in words i could tell my folks
without sounding like a fool.
i cannot translate
the way you look at me,
nor the hidden stares,
nor the moment you almost let me in
before you remmembered about the hurt
i cannot translate
the hope,
the yearning,
the unspoken words,
nor the electric hush
so please, my love, use your words
i cannot be the girl almost
not in their eyes,
nor in yours,
nevertheless— a fool no more.
