Something Further Must Be Said - Triolet

Something further must be said. 
Still, no more shall e'er be spoken
from dispassion's distant bed. 

Something further must be said,
but undertaken by the dead,
vows of silence can't be broken. 

Something further must be said,
still, no more shall e'er be spoken...

Thank you, SKAT. What I'm trying to say is that sometimes people are so hurt by events, they become deadened and may detach to the degree that even a chance at resolution/reconciliation can't bring them back.

But I'm having trouble with the punctuation! I just edited it so if you come back to this convo, please read it again and give me your input, (if you have any) okay?

this is a bit different from most triolets, but I see the pattern of the repeating lines and I really like it!

I think that's right, isn't it? Now I'm even getting confused...

Hi Dre. I just messed around with the format, it's technical form is as follows: ----------------- Nothing further can be said. No more shall now be spoken ----------------- from dispassion's distant bed. Nothing further can be said, ----------------- as such deals are, by the dead, struck mute. So even broken, ----------------- nothing further can be said. No more shall now be spoken.

Jan, will you please check this poem again and see if the different format reads better?

I'm not satisfied with the punctuation/line format. I'm going to change it...

Thanks, my Dear. It's about denial and despondency and shock. Can you read that in it?
