"what not to say"

words spilled out

disregarded for their open-mindedness

one word - chase

"chase"


chase me now. chase me down. chase me and catch me. make me know that you need to know me and need to be with me. chase the feeling away and realise the silliness of all the things that were said and unsaid. be who you want to be, and be there for me. chase the uneasiness away and make sure that the future is there for us.

faceless

"faceless"

she sat quietly watching
suddenly speaking up in the midst
saying more than she should
backing herself into a corner
the need for a shovel was strong
but no one offered her one
we kept open mouthed closed
shocked and surprised at her dark words
our small group divided
one outsider left out
sly words later
decisions made unsaid
questions unknown openmind
friendships maintained

one word --apron

"apron"

he was tied to his mum's apron strings, that's what the church ladies said. but in reality, he just loved her. he knew she was lonely and wanted to make her last years on earth pleasant ones. after all, she had looked after him all those years, during the war when there were so few things, so little to eat and so much distress. so he made her happy now, took her places, and to dinner. he sat and chatted over old times and remembered with her.
