Wait

We all have our ways 
to keep our sadness at bay.
Some run, some jump.
Some laugh it off.
Some eat and grow fat 
and then they eat some more
and then they get more sad.
Some don't eat at all,
until they're fed.
If we could just look,
into each others eyes,
and wait.
Wait, untill there's nothing left 
to be said.
and then wait some more.
Until our eyes have done the talking.
We would smile then.
As our silence will be heard,
and our sadness would have spoken.
