I love you my friend
I love you
I could’ve said, instead
Of…

Ample conversation
We talk and talk
And yet we never speak our minds.

Asking if everything’s ok
I tilt my head a little to the left
And nod with such enthusiasm,
You let it go and let it rest.

I never say anything that you don’t want to hear
I hide the scars away so they don’t obstruct your sight
You never say anything either
We never ask each other why.

I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad. The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had. - Gary Jules, Mad World.

& not only why do we never ask why,
but why do we fear the use of her first
3 words?
Far, often, at least...until it's too late.
Words to learn by, Hollow! Thanx!

Why do we stare without opening our mouths? So nicely written. I loved it. What a great way to show that using words helps to heal. *sighs*
Thank you for the wonderful read.

Love,

Though, the situation in your poem was very sad, I did enjoy reading your honesty expressed here and I do believe that honesty is sooooooo vital to any relationship. -Bob
