The Words Left Unsaid-Poems

a bitter end

and then the girl confessed

shaking, near tears, she told the truth that was too heavy for her hands

she still bleeds

the whispers of what happened continue to haunt her

and nobody changes anything

but what is there to change?

he is gone

never touching her again

yet still in reach

close enough to make her look down in shame

and continue to ache

i pity her struggle

with every word she feels, i let her collapse into me

caving in like ruins of a forgotten and desecrated temple

and we weep.
