Unspoken

The words fell out

like a sweet secret.


A twisting in my gut

resulted by the rushed

and hushed recitation

A practical joke, they say,

An ignorant moment

of unknowing spoken

when anyone who knew

would much rather

leave it unsaid.


The only bruise left when

All had been said was the

undoing of my mind

a scar on my memory

as a constant reminder

of what should have been

Unspoken.
