A pinch of pain, <br />I guess that's what it was— <br />a sting from words not spoken. <br /> <br />Funny, <br />how the lack of response <br />turns out to hurt more <br />then any written <br />or verbal stab of honesty. <br /> <br />For it's the unknown, <br />the presuming factor— <br />taking hold, wrapping around <br />and strangling a mind <br />already questioning itself. <br /> <br />A concrete answer, <br />too much to ask I suppose. <br />One shouldn't have the need <br />to be showered with enlightenment, <br />the knowledge already dwells within. <br /> <br />Yet, <br />it sure would have <br />lessened the sting, <br />that small pinch to the heart— <br /> <br />if that one word answer <br />would have been uttered.<br /><br />Jo Lynn Ehnes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/yes-or-no-4/
