the Unspoken

Mayhaps it was the way you talked or the way you didn’t,
the way you kept it all in silence yet it was so loud within my mind.
I swore I could hear all the chaos but they were all blurred out, not a single word figured out.

‘Am I being excessive?’
‘Is it just my heart playing tricks on me?’

But how would one ever know if the latter kept her doors shut, windows closed, and walls up high,

‘I still can hear it, you know, underneath them all’, I said, ‘would you let me in?’.

Silence.
Just like the previous sentences that never made it out of my mouth,
scared that I’d cross your line and you’d run.
So I kept my mouth shut and smile on.
Put on the mask and play pretend,
you are fine and I don’t see you
picking up bottles of an ocean worth of emotions and all the things I would never know.
