# Unspoken

A new poem I wrote about a month back.

I'm sorry

For the things

I do not say

Even when the words 

Do come

They stick upon

My tongue

And slowly

Fade away.

 

You keep me 

On a ledge

Where I can only

Fall

I could walk along it

But never

From it

Can

I stray.

 

I'm frightened

By the thought

Of slipping

From your edge

To the tide

Below

Broken limbs

And battered heartbeats

Left

Whispering my dismay.

 

You could

Push me off

Watch me

Fall

Into the sea

Listen to my

Heart's lament

And leave me

Shattered

Where I lay.

 

The ocean

Could swallow me

Trap me

Beneath its waves

And

All those words

I could never say

Would remain

Upon my tongue

Until

They too are

Slowly

Washed away.
