Things said are
just spoken thoughts,
from an electrochemical
reaction that turns into
the simple art of speech.
Things said
are careless comments,
thrown around in spite
of their consequences.
Things said are
careful observations,
taken note inside
your left cerebral hemisphere.
Things said
pierce you
through the soul,
leaving you to wonder
what you did wrong.
Things said
make your heart pound,
each beat filled
with instinctive emotion.
Things said
reveal the darkness
within you,
the part of you
that stays tucked away
in fear of discovery.
Things said
camouflage
your inner self,
the side of you
that speaks only
the cold, hard truth.
Things said
are sweet
broken promises,
cracked and shattered
from the exposure
of a sudden realization.
Things said
create pools
of sadness,
in the young girl’s
glittering green eyes.
Things said
are far too many
to count,
to record,
the be accounted for.
A verbal representation
of the sweet side
to the unfolded truth,
that conceals within.
