Unspoken Words

I’m searching for ways to say what I mean

I’m struggling to speak, and so I have been

Talking in riddles of harbours and birds

While drowning in oceans of unspoken words

 

Words of reflection and words of regret

Words of forgiveness and words to forget

Words of rejection and words to provoke

Words of star-wishing and words of bright hope

 

Yet all of these words are hollow beside

The three words of truth I’ve kept deep inside

The words are “I love you” – yes, I love you still

And there are some promises left to fulfil

 

I promise to care, to be your best friend

 I promise to heal, I promise to mend

The dreams that I crushed, the heart that I broke

The love torn apart by words that I spoke

 

But can you forgive me? Can you still see

A light on the path to our destiny?

And can you embrace me? Can you refill

The hole that I left? Do you love me still?
