Unspoken.



Last night, my heart

Disclosed itself

As I lay in bed, I felt

the uproar

Of pain and anxiety

Ripping through me



Next time we speak

Will the last, I said

And no scornful words

Nor begging looks

Will turn it back around.



Final moments, can be precious

They can summarise a life-time

Of unspoken withdrawal.

But it has been ticking

The shadow of this bomb

Is about to make itself heard.



I become bodiless

And exorcise this hate

As a unbridled passion

From within me.



You never did see it coming.
