Misunderstanding

 

 

Words left unspoken, a silence that grew,
A misunderstanding, a seed that it sowed.
Assumptions whispered, intentions askew,
A chasm unbridged, where feelings once flowed.

Eyes held a question, a truth left unsaid,
Misinterpretations, in tangled threads spread.
Hearts filled with doubt, where trust once resided,
A love slowly fractured, a bond that subsided.

The silence expanded, a void hard to bear,
Words left unuttered, a burden to share.
"If only we'd spoken," a whisper in the air,
A haunting refrain, a love beyond repair.

Now memories linger, a bittersweet sting,
Of what could have been, if voices could sing.
A lesson learned late, a truth etched in stone,
That love left unspoken, may forever be flown.
