not tonight, honey

messages hidden under dinner plates,
secret phrases sent through unknown numbers,
a rude statement, said aloud without thinking,
a curse shouted from the rooftops. 
a forgotten memory, written in the margins,
a teasing thought sent with the pigoens,
taunting poems recited innocently,
sarcastic comments as replies to caring questions. 

don't worry. 
i know 
what you are desperately trying not to say.
