Words Unspoken

Words Unspoken (written 8/8)

My face remains impassive
The mask of calm safely in place

My heart rages inside me
"HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT?!"

The words from my mouth are quiet
Revealing nothing inside

My heart burns within me
"YOU HAVE NO RIGHT!"

I sit beside you
As if nothing had ever happened

My heart breaks inside me
"I TRUSTED YOU!"

I find my dirty, worn shovel
Digging a grave
For the words in my heart

My heart softly cries out
"You hurt me"

As the last heap of dirt
Burys all traces
Of words unspoken
