I'M Sorry I Can'T

These feelings I cannot suppress These emotions I can’t hide The anguish that rises up When I see these empty lines Wallowing in silence You beseech that I speak I hush my reasons Though my tears make me weak He whispers. “Don’t cry my love I won’t let you fall.” “But your hands are brittle And your strength so frail To trust you would hurt me And to love you would fail.” A somber whimper passed through your lips A modest kiss pressed upon your cheek No actions to speak of May we ever portray But I will love you forever And for the rest of my days
