Nothing To Say

Nothing To Say

 

Nothing to say

Yet I stay

Just because

I refuse

To accept

That I am not               

Wanted here

 

Or so it seems

By the deafening sound

Of silence profound

As but once

Was I to hear

A whispered cheer

For all my goodly work

 

As I think of mine

These posted words

Not pearls all

But pearls some

Lest ever have I

Been completely blind

To their worth

 

Nothing to say

Yet I stay

But maybe yet

I'll leave and go

So as to stop

This pointless thing

 

Charles Petrie
