I once wrote a poem called
Words Never Said
And the words never said were
"I love you"
But there are other words
I should reveal,
The ones I will never say,
The ones I will not use,
God knows there are
Reasons aplenty why
I should,
Why some would say I ought,
The twists and turns of the knife,
The illogical argument,
The hand biting,
The rage from nowhere,
The blistering attack,
That storm from a cloudless sky,
Savage and unworthy
Stupid words
From a mouth become
Uncharacteristic in its harshness,
Aimed and timed and crafted
To cause hurt,
So many occasions
When no one would blame,
Not even the cause
Could blame me
Yet those words still
Hang unnoticed
Between us as the frenzy flies,
Just barely seen in the battle smoke,
Enough - I - quit
