Unspoken Words

Unspoken words lie deep within the caverns of your heart
Consuming you in anguish in their silence
So ruthless in their stand to stay all bottled up inside
They reflect upon your pride with feigned innocence

They speak to you of the grim rejection you will surely find
If you divulge the passion which you feel
Reminding you of the many tears that you have cried
Each time that your true feelings were revealed

You can continue holding all these unspoken words inside
As you listen to the echoes of the fear they resound
But your heart will always wonder if the pride which kept them there
Also kept you from the love you had finally found

You have spoken a truth with these unspoken words. Beautifully written.

these words come from deep within the heart , a reminder to speak while you can . speak when it matters .

I think it took me a life time to finally speak up, it took a life time to share my poetry with anyone. Unspoken words can choke the life out of us. It truly can destroy love. Funny how I picked this poem to read first tonight. Excellent write.
