Time to Stay Mute

When bad feelings
Bred of disappointment and frustration

Have begun to crowd out the good feelings
From times now distant
And long unfueled

It’s time to stay mute
And wait
To see if she notices
Even the embers are barely glowing
And without wood quickly added
The fire will be gone
Soon.

the wait and see method...
hurts just the same as fighting to not lose them.
