When People Don’t Talk
When people don’t talk
The space between words widens
What’s left unsaid takes on new meaning
All the things I thought you meant
Now mean…something
And I’m left to fill in the blanks myself
Because you choose not to say anything
Maybe you think you’re protecting me
Or you’re ashamed
Or you’re angry
Or you don’t want me to have feelings for you
You might have misunderstood something I’ve said
Flawed humans mirror flawed humans
We’re all clinging to the same life raft
So we tango
But we don’t touch each other
While the space between us grows wider
Unless one of us is brave enough to ask
And the other is brave enough to be honest
We will never know
Will we?

A painful place indeed.
I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t fear asking the questions. What I still can’t fathom is why people still can’t bring themselves to answer. There’s no way the entire relationship pool has gotten that shallow.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts for when people don't talk that is called separation of the worse kind of mental and distance 🤔 for a hush mouth can't be feed for we got to speak up or shut up and understand that it's what it is necessary to have a commitment and consistency and real 🤔 communication skills 🤔 For sure we us have to learn to TALK 🦜 LIKE A TALKING 🐦.

Sometimes we need space to process feelings but in time, if something is truly worth fighting for, we will fight for it. 😊

Ugh, that silence is hard. Some people require a lot of patience and gentleness... but talking still has to be part of the equation! I hope you find connection again soon.

Thanks, k
Talking absolutely has to be part of the equation, otherwise I could just stand around talking to a wall and what the point?

'' Flawed humans mirror flawed humans ''
Whew, girl
And that's just an excerpt I snatched from this
Masterpiece.
Simply provocative and deeply punctuated
