My Heart's Plea
The words my heart says,
Yet my mouth refuses to repeat
Are as contant as the days
That I determine not to speak
As I hide the words I need to imply
I cannot bring myself to tell you
That you mean so much to me
Yet I know that you already know
I stop each tender word from my lips
I refuse to utter my heart's plea
With each touch from your fingertips
I wonder how much you love me
My soul begs to let it all go
Yet I must let my guard down
To let all my feelings flow
Even though I feel I will drown
My heart's cry to tell you
Is taken over by my pride
So I cannot convey and be true
As true as the coming tide
I drown my heart's plea with tears
Swearing never to tell you
Even though it sheers
And rips my heart in two...
