Downcast

The house is tense
Despite my attempts to start conversation
Something happened
That I was unaware of
And now the words
in between the lines
Escape me

I bite my tongue
If I say anything, all the unspoken words would overflow
And I would be caught in the downpour

So I sit quietly. And let the words in between the lines wash over me.
Because I cannot read those unspoken words
For they arnt for me.
