The Words...

The words...

...are rich
heavily weighing
down my tounge
my mind
my heart
i try to swallow
and forget
them
but i only gag
on them
and i'm back
where i started

...they well up
in my chest
and i want to scream
them to the world
yet
i want to softly whisper
them in your ear

...mean so much to me
they are everything
to me
all that i am
and want to be
i hope
they are the same
for you

...are real
so real
i feel like i
can touch them
and hold them
in my hands
and give them
to you
wrapped in a big bow

...come easy
they flow
from my brain
to my mouth
like a ribbon
fluttering,
tumbling
weightless and careless
but they show how much i
care

...which i cannot say
though i want
you to know
want
you to feel
the warmth
meant with these words
shine
on your sorrow
and cling
to your body
and soul

...i want to say
so true
and so banished
so pure
but made so stale
so uniquely meant
but so over-used

...i am trying to say
the words
i
am
trying
to
say
are

...i love you
