Knots

Spontaneous write.

I tied a knot 

around the corners 

of my heart

for each thing 

 left unsaid 

   between us ...

Author's Note

Why do words spill on the page more spontaneously than when we want to really give them a voice verbally?...
Sometimes, it's frustrating getting it out for fear of hurting the other by our words...

as You say sometimes it's the fear of hurting someone, and sometimes it's our own fear from the response we might get, specially from those we love, and whatever the reason might be, it's a truth that writing it down is easier for us than to saying it.

Either we doubt ourselves too much or trust them too little...
Thank you so much for your words here, Light. Always appreciated.

A million knots would still not be enough.

Your author's note is spot on.

Beccy.

Huh this is interesting. The use of tying your heart to keep it together sounds intense. In a good way! I wonder perhaps those words you want to speak you might be tying to your heart as well? Maybe let loose and speak what your heart says to ;) that would probably turn out or the best... But that's just my thoughts. A nice poem yumna, much enjoyed!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Aye, you're right..I do have quite a lot piled up. Just learning to get it out...
Thank you so much for enjoying this one, Sarah. Glad you found it interesting. x

Spontaneous can sometimes be far more revealing. This is one of those occasions. Nicely expressed, and I felt both pain and regret here. Brevity working at its best Dr Y.

You are welcome :)

I felt this one. The pain of what could have been, of what was too difficult. Very powerful, untold story packed into this short poem. Well done, Yumna.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Glad you felt this one, Clifford. Thank you so much for appreciating :)

My heart says I wish I could tell you every truth...my knowing says I can only tell you the truths you are ready to hear.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I feel the same way..it's just hard sometimes...
Thank you so much for reading and your words here, Queenie :))
