Words unspoken

Words unspoken
Hurt the most
This cursory look
But really so telling
Welled, almost overflowing
Fill in the words
Fill in the emotions
Fill in the pain

You wander aimlessly
Behind my back
Eyes searching
Silent and breathless
Waiting, nervously
Fill in the thoughts
Fill in the meaning
Fill in the torment

One step forward
Two steps back
Endless struggle
Nervous hands
Tense voice
Fill in the memories
Fill in the anxiety
Fill in the love

Words unspoken
Bury them
Forever
