Words left unspoken

Sometimes the words left unspoken
Are the words that say the most
These words left unspoken
Hurt more than what you said
Maybe it’s what you did not say
That broke my heart
The words left unspoken
Maybe it’s what I never heard
(But longed to hear)
That dried me up inside
The words left unspoken
Maybe it was waiting to hear
What you would never say
Because you’re scared to express what you feel
(Scared of hurting me, scared of being hurt)
What you could never say actually said it all
The words left unspoken
It’s what’s torturing you
Because you can’t release the words
They remain unspoken and bind you
It’s what puts me behind bars
These words left unspoken
Try to make my heart understand
That it doesn’t make sense to keep on waiting
On words that will remain left unspoken
