Notes About The Poem

Twas Left Unsaid

Night after lonely night, as I lay all alone in our bed
my eyes fill with tears as I recall the words I left unsaid

I know I often told you how much you meant to me
but I never thought I'd ever say, "Please, let me be." 

You were not my first love, and I know I wasn't yours
By chance we met, since we lived on opposite shores

What hand did fate deal to us on the night we were wed
Our hearts were full of love, there was nothing left unsaid

We lived in a euphoric world of happiness and bliss
I fell more deeply in love with you with each tender kiss

Our moonlight walks, holding hands are distant memories
I wish we'd  tried to talk it out, when I have sad reveries

Those moments from the past are pains I sorely dread
I often wonder if you ever think of things you left unsaid

Time has passed, but my heart still misses what we had
When I first left you, I was as lost and restless as a nomad

You called a few times, but we never said the right words
only chatted about trivial things, stammering like silly birds

It's too late to mend our love. We can't use needle and thread
What would we say to each other that hasn't already been said?

Jan Allison September 21, 2017 at 6:22 PM Such a sad poem on so many levels Lin. Good communication is a relationship is so important and sometimes you can communicate but not listen:-( the final stanza hits home hard and nothing can be said to heal the wounds:-( hugs jan xx Lin Lane September 22, 2017 at 7:57 AM Even when wounds heal, scars remain. Thank you very much for the great remarks, Jan.
