Unsaid

N. Christine

These words belong to you,

Milk sweet.

Whispers.

Little presents.

Fingers on salted skin.

 

I want them to drip from my lips

To yours.

 

Instead they stay locked

Behind my eyes,

Beneath my skin,

Crawling on my bitten tongue.

 

Confessions swarm

Inside my chest,

Buzzing like carrion flies

Feeding on the silence.

    A poem of passion well done

  • Paul Bell

    When they're out of reach, they're out of reach.
    Will things change, who knows.
