Unspoken

Voice shattered
Thoughts scattered
Of words left unspoken.
In my most intimate of times
I wished for the courage
To tell you everything I've ever felt.
Where does strength lie in such a big heart?
Cluttered by my own disasterous intentions
Afraid of what may still be your response.
All these words left unsaid
Linger in between the space in which
I let silence mellow.
In my quiet I hope you notice
Just what my heart truly desires to say.
All these muttered words just sitting in my hand
It is better to have said it all
Then to say nothing at all
Yet my reserve keeps my passions preserved
And still I've never uttered a word
Because maybe you would not know what to do with them.
Maybe these muted words are better left in my mind
Safely concealed for a more appropriate time
A time where I intrepidly speak with integrity
Just to tell you all I should have said before.
How nothing truly ever mattered more
And that I will be patiently and faithfully waiting
In this tested storm,
Until my unspoken words have the power to create our calm.
