Please don’t say anything

For afraid I am of what

I may or may not hear said

Feelings rise and flood me

Waiting to be set free

I try wall them all in my heart

Quelling the tides that swirl

My voice quivers softly

Yours too is tenderly hushed

I dare reason not why it is so

For you are now out of bounds

Don’t say a word

Please don’t say anything

For my heart has heard an echo

Of something that may not be true…
