dare to give

Folder: 
bridging poems

 

to speak is to betray perfection,  

to remain silent is to betray love.  

 

the coin burns in the palm,  

thirty for truth, thirty for loss.  

 

better the broken syllable  

than the flawless void—  

for silence is not only your death,  

but the dagger in the hearts  

of those who might have loved  

what you never dared to give.
