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? :................................: 9/21/2017 U Pick the Form #4 "unsaid" hosted by Broken Wings

WOW! This is an awesome piece of art--flowing with emotion and sadness, but reflective of love lost--love the realistic assessment at the end--a winning poem Lin!!

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

Thanks a lot, Russell. It's always worth trying to work things out, but it takes both parties and nothing should be left unsaid.
