Unsaid Words

By Pryzm

Those words not spoken, often perpetuating
deeper meaning and effect.

Words that mean everything when heard…as
unspoken;  nothing.

Words of a child spoken freely, yet clouded by
life as man…become unspoken.

Words not spoken to shed hurt, blame, fear.  Words
that have no meaning, mean the most.

Fear.  Hurt.  Discontent.  Ill feelings.  Shame.  The
formidable knot in the pit of one’s stomach.

Emotions evoked by unsaid words.

Those words not uttered in blind faith that it
will protect the feelings of another.

Unsaid words more hurtful, for they contain
no meaning, leaving one all the emotions
that unsaid words are meant to protect.

    Your words though simply jump off the page as truth, I am happy to see a new poet to the Valley with your talent and style.
