Phyllis Babcock Poet Light Verse

Feelings

Silence stretched between them
Moments where spoken words
Once said could not be taken back
Awkward in ways to find an apology
For when once said cannot be unsaid
it sometimes is better to not express
feelings that will hurt
but to keep those thoughts inside.
