Warming The Edges


what is it you see of me
that others cannot see
skin that is so thin
that has been dried up by degree
underneath thinnest armor
is still a heart in pain
but a heart is still a heart
and here it still remains
I feel myself pour on you
like the liquid flowing tide
with words I dare not speak of
and better that I hide
but if I speak the words or not
you listen and you hear
for two are not so lonely
where another is drawn near
so I shall keep my silence
in words that can not be said
to lay them at water’s edge
where the warmth of sun has spread


I’m not disappointed,  I never expected anything from you.

When you find one who can hear the words you do not speak, you are lucky indeed.

Nicely written, Helen

Silence is sometimes not golden....
Speak up
Or is it just to late.....?
