[net.poems] unspoken

unspoken


why are there so many words unspoken between us?
there are too many words i want to say, but can't find the way to.
it is a senseless and useless thing to let these things lie inside,
windowed only by the expressions that cross my face.
is it your eyes that warn to keep silent?
or is it the unfounded fear in me that makes me still.
your thoughts are the ones i think i hear,
but their meanings keep changing.
what are we telling each other, with these words 
that are voiced from within?
