A poem by FRANCESCA KURLANSKY. 

 

One morning
You looked at the space in between,
Reading in the silence
The words I was forced not to say.

You picked them out
Of the lines between my fingers
And the crease at the corner of my mouth.
Screaming to them to be silent
I wept
As you told them
No more.
