Words I Couldn’t Say 6/10/2011
There’s a box in my cupboard filled with all of you
You’re pictures scattered around me as I stare at
Them endlessly, I am so far lost that I’m hoping
For the words I couldn’t say then.
In a book in a box, in a line of a song
I hear the words over and over.
But never the words I couldn’t say.
The words leave my lips as I whisper your name.
Silence all around me as I sit on my front porch
Hoping that somewhere the stars I’m sleeping
Under will let you know I am thinking of you.
The words was there on the tip of my tongue,
There was you, and me but that’s all gone,
No back up plan, no second chance and no one else to blame.
I’m left with silence only hearing my own breathing
At night, no words to comfort me,
Nothing it’s all lost and I can’t blame anyone,
Words I couldn’t say.
Lost in a world where there is no second chances,
There is water pouring down from the sky,
Yet it’s all falling down on me,
There’s a wall I try to take down,
What I should have said is lost and gone.
Words I couldn’t say.
Words that I should’ve said just couldn’t
Pass my lips, now here we are and I’m too late.
All I can hear is the footsteps of your heart passing me by.
I should have found a way to tell you
How I really felt then,
Now I am telling all those things to myself.
What do I do now, its too late I can’t blame anyone,
There is nothing that remains
But the silence.
Because of the words I couldn’t say.

It's a lonely thing when you're thinking about all you could've said; all you should've said.
Well done, Chim.

The words never said, perhaps they were the most important. I love this poem.
Such a fantastic ode to lament
silence could be scary.
powerful piece.
"All I can hear is the footsteps of your heart passing me by" - love this line! A sad poem we can all relate to, whether it's about a lost love or a broken friendship or relationship with a relative. Well done.
