UNSAID THOUGHTS

Stood still my eyes glistening,
wanted to say them so loud,
But in that moment I am hesitating,
every thought in my mind now a mere cloud,

Pins struck deep in my throat,
my vulnerable words as I keep in hold,
Myself going down with its hold,
my tears threatening to show down road,

Still I fool myself to wonder,
maybe love is after this hurdle,
Even though under their gaze I shudder,
every time it's my emotions to murder,

I am a fool, so delusional,
fighting for what should be unconditional,
Little by little my heart seems to harden,
cause those unsaid thoughts I saw as burden.
