^{_{"Sometimes the hardest words to say are I love you. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is love, espeically when all you feel is pain."}}

Not this day No My mouth shall not say The words that linger Trailing broken syllables From memory bay Without meaning I cannot form them Even as I pray Turning in guttural acidic taste By bitter bile way Fumbling resentment Phrase to phase With no sway from sentiment Shall I dare? Shall I say? Nay! Struggle thought Drowning heart turned grey Oh how heavy they drag And scuff the floor from their weight I look at them there in utter dismay Clutching my heels as I walk away I left them there Begging! Just as they left me that day Those words... Once meant for you That I will NEVER again say

The alliteration works well here. Holding back from hurt and pride creates a tension with the impulse to say it (I love you). Very real. Very well done!
