unspoken


it is when a bird does flutter and all is lost behind the clutter
of words we spoke
and thoughts we tossed
the sea of doubt
the comfort of loss
behind the glow of safety we play
like children pretending when lost in a day
but i saw what you didn't want to say
and its clinched in my hand
released when i lay
