There's so much in your
conversation
that isn't words.

How do I respond
to the hurt in your eyes
when your words say
"I'm fine"?

The nano-seconds
of flickering emotions
in your face
tell me you don't agree
with yourself.

Your physical self
is trying so hard
to contain the emotional.

I wish you were confident enough
to tell me with words
what you really want to say.
