Hard To Say

It's hard to find the words, that really prod the soul,
Hard to speak in languages, that only angels know.
To think of all the things, trapped inside my head,
Then try to capture you, with not but writing lead.

How can I say, "I want you", and make it sound unique?
Repeat these dreams you give me, everytime we speak...
Return the words, from you lips, with my point of view,
Train my eyes to tell you more than "Dear, I love you too."

Melodies whisper soft and clear, notes to draw you face,
Even though I'll try my best, the music still escapes.
These serenades of sweet surrenders play when we're together
I want to give these songs to you, someday when I sing better.

But it's hard to say I'll know you then, hard to say we'll be,
Hard to say we'll still be young when these things come to me.
I want to give them now dear, but my fingers are restrained,
Sitting idle by my side, afraid they'll reach for yours in vain.

I can feel your arms around me, though we never hug,
Tears fall in my fortress from the heartstrings that you tug.
Somehow in your eyes, worlds spin in my mind,
You rocket to these places, while I stand cowering behind.

Wondering what to say, wondering what to do,
I'll find holes to fall into then yell in need for you.
I'd rather lose the pride I have, than wander life alone,
Wishing you were by my side, help me come back home.

It's hard to say I want your help for all the tears I've cried,
Hard to say, 'I love you dear, can I rest by your side?"
How would you say these things? What words would you use?
How would you say, "Please come back", so that I can't refuse?

It's hard for me to say...

End.

    I cannot fault anything in this! The rythm and rhyme was flawless...

    This was a very romantic, and sad poem of unrequited love. The end was very effective. I liked how it came to an abrupt hault.
