You are tired
and heartbroken.

Your words just now
can stay unspoken.

What you must say
can wait a day.

Meantime:

I will steal it,
take your pain
into my brain
where it can sit,
where it can stay
hidden away

within a rhyme.

Not to speak of
till a better time.
~ mce
Sometimes, it needs time, to get that pain out.
