Words we couldn't say: Poem

 

Words We Couldn’t Say 

Words we couldn’t say

Lingering feelings kept at bay

Wondering who should first say

Hoping each other to pave way

Yet we remain standstill

And discord got us betray

The wonder years left some scars

What remains, let us stay & let u say

Forever wonder there’s nothing to gain

The unspoken words left us in pain

The shallow echo’s hurt us both

Of broken dreams & fragile oath

If silence could ever find a way,

May the unspoken words—be heard today.
