Words Unspoken
for all of the feelings I hid away
words unspoken, I will not say
what will happen if that dam breaks
spilling them all over you
in this place I fall far from you
forgetting words that once rang true
what else is there that I can do?
but bury them deep inside
all of these words that I held too close
bubble up inside till I think I will choke
I speak to the shadows...talk to the ghosts
all that remains of you
it seems every hour of every single day
I fight the urge to whisper your name
the levy is cracking, I'm afraid it will break
secure just for the moment
I thought that love would be fair
a tower of ivory to secure the words there
my passport stamped with nothing to declare
all of this left behind...
words I could not find
