Why Can't I Say?A Poem by Watch Me ScreamWhy can't I say it?A phrase to say Or maybe to shout I dont quite know How to go about Saying such simple Words to you When my heart beats fast Because it's true I lose my breath I cannot think All I can feel In every blink Of your lid, Hiding your eyes But I see through Their pale disguise I've always been horrid At feeling what I say Or is it saying what I feel? See, I've been alone I've been so numb You've shocked my senses My brain's gone dumb It's just not used To someone like you Peering into me Brown gaze into blue Green and yellow I can feel bursting Though gray hovers near: For coldness it's thirsting. Finally gone insane I'm personifying colors Giving them pain For f**k's sake Why can't I say it? Speak what I mean! Not just spray it Onto concrete And into doors Carve into walls And onto the floors Thats how strongly How powerfully I fear But I am so strong When you are near My dear, it's too soon For me to say- But it can't be too soon If I feel this way! You'll be like the rest Take me for granted While I feel blessed But in my heart, I know this fear's for naught You've cheated before me... You've learned that lesson And now you've gained what before you lacked I feel it in my bones I know it's true.... So why can't I say "I love you"? © 2012 Watch Me Scream |
