these days

nothing feels important enough to say.
yet everyone takes my smallest words
and runs away with them.
they keep them held close
never giving me the chance
to have them back.

...and they are not bad,
however they are given undue weight.

and then here I am
forgetting and dropping all the words
as soon as they are given to me.

is this the yin and the yang?
if I start to care deeply for what strangers say
will they in turn become deaf towards me?
