I open my mouth to speak,
But not a sound comes out;
I’m a stuttering mess,
Clouded with doubt
I planned what I would say,
And it’s not a long script,
But no matter how I try,
These words just don’t fit
Maybe I should stay silent
And keep thoughts in my head;
Maybe these feelings
Just shouldn’t be said
You wouldn’t listen anyway –
It’s a topic you try to avoid,
Even though it once was
Something you really enjoyed
Besides, we haven’t really talked,
And you’ve probably kept me off your mind,
And seeing you now, I know
You just want to leave me behind
So I let the moment slip by,
Though I know it’s something I’ll regret,
Because this kind of moment
Is something I couldn’t forget
So I just stand there alone
And I continue to stare
At where you stood,
Though you’re no longer there
And I whisper those words
That I had kept in my head,
“I miss you with all my heart”
But it’s as if they were unsaid

Poetically, it's beautiful, and an epic way to express another way of sad in love.
Thanks!! 🙂
Excellent! And the initial assessment that she should just keep silent is probably better, in the long run. If he is so stupidly cold-hearted to have caused the break in the first place, what profit seriously is her chasing after the renewal of his former affections? You depicted it beautifully in the bittersweet reality. Oh, how true! She'll wish she'd said it, but hopefully she'll learn that she was better off silent.
Thanks so much! 🙂
Simple yet beautifully written. It enabled me to feel how you felt. The doubt that surrounds you intrigues me ... in fact if you were my own daughter I would ask you to walk up to him and talk to 'him' just to test the water to see if it's too hot, too cold or just right. Good Job Emi!
