There's a tension now between us
when we, as parted lovers, meet
And there's a damage only words of love
Can ever mend
But if we listen to the spaces
round the simple things we say
These words are there,
unspoken ,
in the things we leave unsaid

- Comment from author about the poem: Back at last to one of my favourite themes. A sense of something lost. . Also the idea that the most honest and important messages are in the words we don't say. These often seem to have the biggest impact I'm pleased that it's not too dark, and i also like the sound of the opening two lines.

I really enjoyed your poem!
Thank you. It's a bit different to my recent postings. More similar to my earlier ones, though not so dark as them. Glad you liked it.
You might enjoy some of my earlier ones as well.
Sometimes just a look can say a thousand words. Very good work, Garry
Thank you. And a meaningful silence speaks volumes.
Really good poem Gary
Enjoyed it very much
Thank you
A fine summary of how former relationships create and bind. The heart speaks through silence so clearly at times and listening to the spaces between is a gem of a phrase to remember - -a perceptive write and a lovely first read of my day. Thanks for sharing it Garry.
What a beautiful comment. And well thought through as always.
Very good write. The silences can be so loud.
.
What did that silence say i wonder
