Andreanna Escamilla Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

^{_{"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."}}

Muted Love

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

James Edward Lee Sr. May 18, 2020 at 6:48 AM To love to say, it's beautiful to say in sincerely... In never forgetting LOVE- cousin FORGIVENESS An inspiring. Write... Andreanna : ) ....a "FAV" 4 me James Andreanna Escamilla May 29, 2020 at 10:26 AM Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed this piece.

Thomas Wells May 15, 2020 at 6:34 PM 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!
