Better Left Unsaid...

The pregnant pause to "I Love You"--
The feeling of having an audience
for a lie uncovered;
A wind chill of -18 degrees and you're
without a coat or scarf...
A hurtful truth that destroys realities,
creates chaos, evokes fear or crushes
one's soul--a lack of tact.

Details of hard lessons that give years of
experience yet captures decades of life;
The clarification of an assumption that
is clearly built through an emotional response;
The answer to a question that was just
answered--telling someone he or she
was not paying attention.

Some things are better left unsaid...
