THE SILENCE IS DEAFENING

Silenced

Conversational deficit

Swallowing my words

Choking on my thoughts

Imagining the things that might be discussed

Conversational starters, each one discarded as potentially explosive 

Can't be bothered with my wrong thinking and sloppy ideas

Stay inside the lines

Think inside the box

Sitting in silence

Much safer this way

Free of danger, rage and condemnation

Any thoughts expressed may be used against

Imagining the conversations that might have been

A free exchange of ideas

Silenced

The unspoken 

Is it better left unsaid?


It's hard to kiss the lips at night...
