Words Left Unsaid

What happens when personal feelings get in the way; as a cannonball does to a tranquil pond.

 

Being completely honest yet still dishonest

As a glass filled almost to the brim…almost

Missing that one ounce that makes the entire drink fantastic

Words left unsaid

 

Too early to tell

World-defining to say, misunderstood, overlooked because of my youth

To complete the message I truly mean to say to you

Too early to tell; should not say it

But tis what is on my mind all the time

Begging, fighting its way out of the iron cage of my mind like a boy

As a child, chasing after what it wants no matter what happens

Words left unsaid

 

Am I cursed?

Tis why my body cannot say what it yearns for when together in the dark?

Because of the circumstances hanging over our worlds?

You entered mine, giving it color again, making it bright again

I willingly, happily gave yours more visuals; smiles

More sound; laughter. Want to give MORE, want to give many

You deserve things that equally match the beauty of your soul

There is so much in my world that is worthy, just out of my dollar-hand’s reach

All of this I want to toil for, painstakingly strive for

Burst muscles and break discs, only to give those things to you

But all wouldn’t complete the list of the one item that matches the price of your heart

Invaluable, forever compounding, infinitely pristine of magnificence

There is only one thing that matches, one that fits perfectly

Buried deep to the core of my world, waiting…

Say the words and it shall be here

But once said shatters both worlds to merge as one

Now: not the time, not the place, is what we agreed

So it stays there, waiting…

Words left unsaid

 

It taunts me

As a pass just at the tip of my fingers

Bobbing, flipping in the air with each frantic one-hand grab

As I try to keep balance, desperately trying to bring it in

For to haul it in wins the game, breathes hope into my city, joy to the fans

To incomplete the pass, to miss it by just one second; by one step

Ruins all of my hard work then, now and tomorrow.

The ball travels both ways

You there afloat, wading through the waters of life

Defending your hopes, your dreams, your aspirations

The ball approaches with words

So much chlorine in the water, ball coming so fast

Do you bat it away? What you were built to do?

Or do you let it slip past the tips of your fingers?

To be among your hopes and dreams? Whatever the words say?

Words left unsaid

 

THAT IS IT!!!

You declare to me

‘Enough games, no more secrets, I want to know!’

We’ve been completely honest with each other

But I have still been dishonest

I warn, I plead, I grovel to let this one go; let us just enjoy each other for the time

For it is numbered, it slips away into the night

I just want to hold you in my arms while I still can, kiss your lips, look into your eyes

While they are still here in front of me

You plead, you eagerly ask what is left in my mind? What could it possibly be?

The hidden gift that brings forth joyous days in light-speed quickness

Or one arduously secured away; one that severs the ties?

 For the bond not strong enough to withhold the responsibility.

I close my eyes, listening to your sweet voice, slowly inhale your heart-strengthening scent as tears of worry stream down my face

Three words

Prepare to tell you, the last piece, the only piece I have left to say

The only piece I want to say…forever

Three Words

I open my eyes. Hold your brave, beautiful face with working-man hands

 Delicately as possible look into those hazel pastures of paradise

THREE WORDS

Scared and shaking I open my mouth… but only say

Words Left Unsaid…
