Communicating

I said angry words today,
words, I knew,
I should not,
but said, anyway.

As each syllable followed,
one after the other,
the apparent power,
and purpose, was clear.

Here for you
is a gift
wrapped tight and quick -
open it.

One asks questions,
one answers,
and so it goes on
until...

What is left,
is a choice;
the ineffable
or not.

Between
“Why don’t you love me?,”
and
“Just because."

Or
"You're right. I'm sorry"
and
"I love you."
