Say

Things go without saying
We meant very well
But say without saying
– In circles we tell

We don’t outright mention
Specifically state
Commit to our message
Then leave it to fate

We circumnavigate!
Encrypt our every thought
Slant it for confusion
For fear we will be caught

Speaking truths forbidden
Speaking truths unlocked
Revealing hidden secrets
Lurking in our hearts!
