Subject(s): Indifference; Language; Words; Vocabulary


Her words, as light as snow flakes,
Gently on him fell.
He shook them off,
Though not to scoff --
Indifference served him well.

But while those words like snowflakes
Fell through the waiting years,
He crushed them low,
And did not know
They melted into tears.
