I live within myself

(Inspired by Dickinson)

So I haven’t said the words,
Or many for you to hear.
Time you would not give me.
Too few moments, interfere.

My talk was ever spacious,
And riddled with much naught.
You hurried on away from
My hidden mystery’s thought.

I could not speak quicker
Or quick enough, I guess.
My pain only comes from
lost chances to confess.

_____

Words hadn’t come quick enough
My time spun all too fast.
You, improvident, guessed you knew me
And let lost thoughts run past.

__________

You know?
Sometimes I think that we interpret silence as a harbenger of bad...when in fact, a thoughtfulness lingers that is far more considerate than accomodating.  
Would wish I had known, if it were me.
Great write.
