Unspoken

by Jai - Aries - Not entered

Something is lost
between the feeling 
and the word,

the pushing and squeezing
to make it fit
tears fragile threads
of thoughts too fine
to stitch or braid,

they recede in a fugitive twilight
inexpressible,
collecting in the silent spaces
of the heart's fluency,
where their presence expands with the years
pulsing with an indefinable need,

until they filter
into the throat of regret,
and we find ourselves
choking to death
on the swollen tongues
of things unsaid.
