Words You Speak, Leave My Words Unspoken

Words You Speak, Leave My Words Unspoken....
I have words of reflection and words of regret
I have words of forgiveness and words to forget
I have words of rejection and words to provoke
I have words of star-wishing and words of bright hope

Yet all of these words are hollow beside
The three words of truth I keep deep inside
The words are “I love you” – yes, I love you still
Despite the empty promises you never did fulfill

You promised to care, to be my best friend
You promised to heal, you promised to mend
The dreams that you crushed, the heart that you broke
The love torn apart by words that you spoke

All the while I'm searching for ways to say what I mean
All the while I’m struggling to speak, and so I have been
Forever talking in riddles of harbours and birds
As I'm drowning in deep oceans of all my unspoken words.
