Unspeakability is just a trope,
A way of saying by omission what
Cannot be said - it is a way to cope
With what the mind will never cope with. But
Taken too far, it turns upon itself,
And thoughts that otherwise were safe to think
Are shunted off, placed on a mental shelf,
And over time, allowed to simply sink
Into oblivion, and be unthought,
A fate, I fear, which will accompany
The thoughts which are perpetually caught
Within my mind. I won't let them be free
Until I can convey them, which I can't
And that, unspeakably, in the constant.
