Behind the Words
Behind the words, there might exist
A message that’s unspoken,
A code that those who listen well
Might realize they have broken.
For what is said aloud may not
Convey the total meaning
And sometimes one can’t even tell
Which way the speaker’s leaning.
Reacting to an answer that
A query may solicit
Could possible ignore a thought
That’s glaringly implicit.
The words released into the air
From someone’s mouth and mind stem
Quite often hide some connotations
Lurking them behind them.
