Unspoken

Unspoken,
unbidden,
unheard.
The silence never got to you,
never made you burn or bleed,
and you took questions as an affront,
so I stopped asking.
Didn't get in your face---
and that made it possible
for you to still love me,
but it didn't answer
the questions I screamed in my heart.
So they stayed
and bounced
evil tiggers
gaining momentum,
and it would have taken so damned little
to silence and stop them,
but even that was too much to ask.
I was drowning in unspoken,
and you did not offer a word
believing that I should just "know".
Well you know me love---
I assume nothing,
and the ticking silences
that used to be pleasure
are filled
with what you have not said.
