What I’ll Never Say
Soft words spoken in an unforgiving tongue
I wish to travel in a backward birth
The day I let your hands slip from mine
In a bitter chaos of colliding pain
This shattered heart of mine beating
Has flood itself more rain than New Orleans
I am esurient for which I once held in my soul
Entwined since the beginning of time
I long, I long to be forgiven
I long, I long to be loved
And when I saw you look at her
Your lips gently caressing hers
The lies I told myself—I could live without you
Came hurling at me faster than a pitcher’s strike
I am sorry,
For my heart misses its other half
In your face, in your eyes
I want to say what’s in my heart
But the fear of being hurt with you
I keep all the things I’ll never say
Maybe someday when I am stronger
When the thought of without you
Is a greater pain than with you
I’ll say what I’ll never say
