Sometimes,

I don’t have anything  to say

Please don’t interpret my silence

as indifference

Sometimes,

there is nothing I want to “say out loud”

Please don’t interpret my silence

as coldness

if my words will just bring pain, isn’t it better to ignore?

 

Sometimes,

I feel like I’ve said all that I can say

hasn’t it all been said before?

Sometimes,

in striving for balance

in bridging the distance

we must rely

on silence

~Melanie Thomason

 

 

 

 

Broken apologies
From all the times life used

“I’m sorry”

Worn out whiskey bottles

From hands clutching glass

To sink the rising sorrows

The window seat

..where hope and my soul meet

Now submerged from the pointed finger

“Not today little girl”

Yeah ok..

Well I am pretty tired of this

…teasing burial of my dreams

So I’m gonna make like a fairytale

And sleep underground

Wake me with that kiss

When heartbeats sync with bliss
