Better By Nightfall

If I had words to say to you
and words enough to speak
I would have spoken them
I would have broken them
and given them
to you
to do with as you please
to play with as you would
only to toss aside
the depth
of what you do not know

But words I have not spoken
words that are not broken
not given
to you
remain with me
where I feel their depth
and understand their foundation
file their meaning
for more than what is stated
and more than you'll ever know
