Words
Words unspoken
Words not sure if they want to be expressed
Or should be shared
Words avoided due to fear
Or uncertainty
Words hesitated
Not yet the right words
Not yet the right time
Words not voiced by accident
Meant to say it
Thought to bring it up
But time rushed on, and the words are gone
Words deliberately held back
Avoid the turmoil and trauma
'Going there' costs too much
Easier to say nothing
Than risk hours
to sort after-thoughts and emotions
Words withheld
Out of love
Out of apathy
As a weapon
In self-protection
Some words should not be spoken
Some words should
I have lived long and much in the latter
Am now learning the former
My heart
May it be true and good
My words
Spoken and unspoken
May they heal and give
