Some Open Ended Statements Poem by RIC BASTASA

be happy sometimes
that people are not blunt
they have open ended sentences
giving you the options
of what should have been
said on their minds
again you supply the missing
links
it could be another verb
from a nerd
or an adjective which you do not
like to read
you read from their lips
and begin to say the missing
word when you are
alone and ready to cry
without anyone seeing you
life is like that
one must appear as brave
as anyone can be
in the broadness of
daylight
in the privacy of your life
nothing is missing.
