Words Unspoken

By

Maybe I should have asked

Maybe you should have told me

 

I love to watch you sleep

So peaceful in your bed

I long to hear you speak

So many things unsaid

 

“Grab your things and pack”

Was the last you said

Bring peace into my life

And take the pain away

 

Maybe I’ll say

“I love you”

And hope to hear it back

Maybe I’ll try to hold you

And relieve our past

 

Life is not what I expected

Our journey wasn’t long

Your love I have neglected

I never meant to do you wrong

 

There you lay asleep

Your life has come to pass

I gently kiss your lips

And close your dreamy eyes

 

I’ll leave you now

For good

As your wake has come to pass

I’ll give you one last kiss

And burn it with our past

 

I leave you now

With words unspoken

[Blackbird Cry]

Heartbraking and written so well I felt each line within.

[Ladysue]

A sad, heartfelt poem. I enjoyed the read. It was beautiful.

[Tempest]

Love the structure of this poem, heartfelt, hauntingly beautiful, pierced with a quiet sadness. Its hard to face those things unsaid. You have to live, to love as if everyday is the last. Sometimes people think I am silly because I say I love you to them so much.. but isn't better than wondering if you ever said it enough.. Universal and fundamental truth here. You have wonderfully beautiful thoughts that come through your poetry. Wonderful and lovely.
