Nihil.

Once spoken, shorter,
avoidance,
Annoyance? Sorry, but
still shorter,
Nil response, but spoken
silently,
Between the lines, quietly,
yet uncertain of
what to say...

Press on, another day,
once spoken,
shorter,
Words shield in persona,
falsified to hide,
Hide what? That side
unable to steel,
Feeling just to feel,
but hurt, fear, anguish,
the marrow that
molds the...

Most meaning in
letting be,
Letting go, to wait
and see,
Wait to wait, just
longer still,
Nil response, still
unspoken,
Unproven, left
broken...
