Silence

Sometimes
We indulge
In the safety
Of silence
Just because
Words
That never left your lips
Can never come back
To hurt you

The shadow

When I walk
You would follow.
When I stop
You would stay.
Always steps away
At a safe distance.
If I stood still long enough
Would you one day
Just turn around
And walk away?

The Line

Everything is fine
Until you cross
The line
But where is it?
Who drew it?
Who knows it?
How absurd
Is the fear
Of a line
Unseen
And unknown
