these words are best unspoken

these words are best unspoken

never meant to leave my lips

 

they float inside

 

like lost souls, looking for an end

 

my words are best unspoken

 

never meant to leave my lips

 

they build up

 

until the silence eats at me

 

these words are best when spoken

 

but never by me

 

you've made that very clear

 

so get out now, pretty please my dear

 

for my words can never be spoken

 

I sit here waiting for the end

 

so silently

 

so speak all you want

 

you're words will never build up

 

the silence will never eat at you

 

since these words are best unspoken

 

I put it down on here, for you

As interesting a concept as this is, a bit of this just doesn't flow... in my opinion, that is. "they float inside/like lost souls, looking for an end." That line just doesn't seem to fit with the rest. I believe that if you took out "looking for an end," it might sound a better. "since these words are best unspoken/I put it down here, for you." Again, it doesn't sound right. Maybe, it could be, "here they are/just for you." Or you could just put "for you" below "I put it down here." I don't know. To be honest, I don't understand that last line. Are you saying that because you can't actually speak to someone, or that communication verbally is impossible, that it'd be best done written? Poems are fun to interpret, aren't they? Deciphering this one is quite the amusement.

Words have immense power and sometimes, I agree, they are best left inside, although, it can be cathartic to get them out!
Beautifully crafted love

Very well said. Sometimes its so hard to keep words inside when you so need to speak them and other people just scream and shout, not caring or something. But somehow they need to come out so writing them sometimes is a safer method. Your poem here so speaks the truth and I really like it. Great job.
