River of Gone Words

 Another trek to the river of Gone Words

Another sack of snap-backs

One more time of packing it down

To throw in and be forgot

Another bunch of words not said

Another expression stillborn on my tongue

One more bouquet of complaints

Tossed into the River of Gone Words

Another wish sent to drown

Another desire to let go

One more urn of the unspoken

Sacrificed to River of Gone Words

This is safer​

This is best

These are better left unexpressed
