what a simple word in a not so simple world
perhaps lying beneath are a deep flood of
passions, memories, words,
drowning and drowning and drowning in
questions that will never have answers.

a question of care
a return to an apology
a comfort to a cry
a surrender to a fight
a reassurance of a beautiful end…

but what people don’t know
is that behind every ‘okay’
are a thousand words
that are never,
and will never
be said…
