Communication!

"Communication is key," they say,

But you see, "speak up" is all they truly want to say.

They ignore all the aspects that sum it up -

Like taking a piece of something whole and leaving the rest in the dump-

Leaving room for under-appreciation and laying waste to many unique parts.

Now, why would something so wholesome be torn apart? 

Beyond the passage of vocal sounds from person to person,

Communication abounds in:

The warm embrace after a long day's work and

The slight nod of reassurance - a silent wish of goodluck.

It is nestled in the pair of eyes that lights up in excitement at the sight of their favorite person-

An appreciation for life's blessing.

Communication is the restless swivels and twirls beneath the sheets after a fight - an unsettling strategy that blights sleep for the night. 

It is also the silent attitude over a displeasing incident; a usual technique for avoiding belligerence.

It is still, a melancholic mood for conveying hunger... 

And to ignore all these is to head on over yonder

From a partner with whom you should be bonding;

Ignoring all you should be knowing, and expecting actions and feelings to be enveloped in words alone.

Still, words can go a long way too,

But, of course, actions speak louder, boo.
