The Words

One, two, three words
And a silence that spoke more than them
One, two, three looks
What could I do with those?!...
Than nothing
Just a step back
Because between three words two of them were wrong
If you were to measure those words
Silence would not keep just reprimand…

Challenging, and it mutes me before its gravity. Bravo
