Words left unsaid
Like a love undeclared
Are written on the heart
And in the lonely nights are read
When there is only you
And unfaithful memory
These lines of the mind
Take on different meaning
And what was unspoken
Can deafen loves young dream
Shouting hurt where none existed
When all you needed was the courage to speak
To speak of truth and let the burden of your heart free

Thanks Reb, very much appreciated
A woeful tale of regret when ones head overruled ones heart.
Thanks Dusk
A beautiful piece of poetry, of love never spoken and the aftermath of that hollowness. Life's many forked pathways are strewn with the poorly selected and often neglected choices. Here you have shown that words "unspoken" can be as powerful as those we shout. The "unsaid" can scar as deeply as the freely spoken. We spend years wondering why and what if, and at some point we render a graceful and articulate poem. Well done. - Phil A.
Many thanks MF for your time to read and comment

May those words in your heart break free and show the love that you have for others.
