The Space Between Words

I get the space between words

Somewhere there's a train of thought

Down a single rail

It doesn't run on because

It doesn't know how much time its got

So you just sit still

Making your choice carefully

I am reading the silence

I don't count on you speaking louder than that

What has this conversation become

But a wager of time

An imprint of our imaginations

Playing a game that wages hosts of regret

My words they pacify my interest

A patience procured without any adverbs
