In her silence
In her silence
~
In her silence she said so much
Yet offered so little to be admired
The sum of these parts now accounted
Leave less to be remembered
The dull ache of the irritable heart
A diary entry torn out and cast aside
A lesson learnt, perhaps time will tell
The mistake in judgment agreed for now
But for the experience in itself
Each thought and emotion taken in pen
Then written overly expressed in verse
How magnified the whole situation
But what is a poem without its licence
So silently and shy she suddenly became
Once those words had been let slip
That a heart or mind would imagine
Any possible explanation
And so a poem became written
In her silence
