Words Unspoken

Words like those cut from the throat of the robin Breast red with pride, the words cast out by the one I love. There is no bravery in them; I have no shield to protect myself from them as they are thrown at me. Those are the words that instantly turn lover to stranger Whose thin lips silently mouth a coward’s chicken- goodbye Words have broken me Words will heal me All in good time.
