hush

Hush, don't speak !
I wish I have told you
that critical moment
before the loud, persuasive words
of how much I don't care
and you don't care too
absorbed us.

Hush, don't speak!
I wish you have told me
before that silly game
was about to start.

Neither of us said that
we choose to make noise
and word by word
a wall appeared between us.

Hush, don't speak!
Hear the riches hidden behind the silence.
Alas, its too late to say that

Hush, don't speak
we both said
and then
Silence
no loud noises
no persuasive words
but what it hurts
is the absence of the riches.

Silence
and a wall.

My heart is not glad.
Yours?
