Awkward Silence

The words lie forgotten on my lips

I will never utter them

What purpose do they serve

If You refuse to understand them

Or accept them silently with no return

I wanted conversation

To feel the yearning of Your soul

For mine

I find

Awkward silence

ah!! the legendary debate - between words and silences - and those spaces in between - which one wins, no ones knows - but i think its those spaces in between that define it - and your poem here - it captures those spaces with perfection and brevity - brilliant!
