Words We Should Have Said

24 Jan

You never spoke a word,

But I heard words nonetheless. 

Worthless

Unwanted

Useless

No Good

Unloved

Go Away

Go Away

GO AWAY!

And so I left.

And I never said a word.

But words you heard nonetheless.

Worthless

Unwanted

Useless

No Good

Unloved

Go Away

Go Away

GO AWAY!

And so, one day, you left.

If only we had said the words. . . 

The real words left unsaid.

Precious

Wanted

Needed

Perfect

Loved

Stay

Stay

STAY
