“Unspoken Words”****************

 

Without uttering a word….

As she sat in my lap, kinda curled up in a fetal position.

I am use to her talking, so I prepared to listen.

And she without a murmur, mentioned that her day was long and tiring and,

Affection is all that she desired

Inspiring me to pamper her, as she tightly gripped my neck

She just needed to be held, with no signs of neglect.

The respect she wanted, I gave it, with no hatefulness or resentment.

It felt like she was searching for some type of contentment

For my, commitment bared no mercy. On the couch trying to rest,

She lowered her head, planting her forehead to my chest,

At best, her soul just wanted to be touched.

Gripping her tightly; holding her compassionately was enough.

All of that stuff she has had going on was weighing down heavily

And with unspoken words, I sat quietly; respectfully.

She needed empathy, and she received it. She just wanted to be held

And not bogged down inside of this invisible shell,

With no voice she yelled, and many things were made very clear.

She was open; for a short second, she felt no fear.

No tear, no worry, no issues, no sounds were heard.

She revealed all of this utterly silent, no expressions, no words

unspoken, uncluttered, unveiled, unheard…

Speaking loudly through her actions: nothing was heard

but bold unspoken words…
