Tacenda

By Khanak Sharma

things we want to say are left unsaid,

things you want to tell are left untold,

things i want to hear are left unheard,

the unsaid tales lingers in our mind ruining our day,

i wonder if things were a little different would it all be

okay?

your untold story is trapped inside your heart feeling an

urge to tear the world apart,

i wonder if you wanted to give us a new start?

my unheard anecdote is all i can hear when someone tries

to talk to me,

i wonder if things were a little different would i have been

free ?

free from the guilt that burns me every day,

just because you didn’t stay.

but what if…

what if we said the tales that still wanders in our mind,

what if you told the stories that is still trapped inside,

what if i heard the anecdotes buried in my soul,

would it be any different than it is now?
