Topic: I'd Rather Not Say

by Joan Serratelli

I'd rather not say
things that need
to be said

I'd rather not say
i love you
when i don't

I'd rather not say
that things are ok
when they're not

I'd rather not say
that I'll stay forver
when there's only now

I'd rather not say
all the things
bottled up inside

I'd rather not say
what i need to say
because you'll cry

Oh, my ... these remind me so much of my "pre-divorce" folder poems, Joan. "I'd Rather Not Say" was the perfect topic title for this one.

Sometimes there really isn't anything to say. Nothing that would make a difference anyway. You talk and you talk but nobody hears, Maybe we might be better off if we were permantly mute.
