The Words I Never Said
The words I never said began with I,
ended with you
was filled with love
The words I never said were smothered by my kisses
embraced by my hugs
The words I never said lie next to you each night
and woke up next to you each morning
And yet I couldn't say the words
The words I never said grew jealous
whenever you were near or far
The words I never said were hopelessly hoping
for you to acknowledge the open door
But you didn't. And from within, it got cold.
Now the door is shut, chained with lock and key
And the words I never said are now buried deep within me.
