His Words~ By Jamie Lee

12/16/2014

0 Comments

 
His tender words still linger left unsaid; 
They live and breathe but only in his heart. 
Silent words cannot be changed or misread. 


Because of speech, too many tears are shed.
Though he knows silence will tear them apart,
His tender words still linger left unsaid.

Upon her anxious heart his words could tread,
But sad misfortune fateful words impart. 
Silent words cannot be changed or misread.

A quiet love for her dwells deep instead; 
Devotion paints his soul like brand new art
With tender words still lingering unsaid.


She seems but a dream floating up ahead.
Alone he wishes for a brand new start
Where his silent words cannot be misread.


Upon her fragile heart his love might tread;
He cannot face what his thoughts might impart.
His tender words still linger left unsaid;
Silent words cannot be changed or misread.
