spit, mixed with dirt – muddy words flow
Unspoken Words
I did exactly what I set out not to do
I gave my heart to another
What started as a chance meeting
Turned into an easy conversation
Which became texts and more texts
Texts turned to phone calls
We had a meeting of minds
Kindred spirits
But when I looked back
I suddenly realized
I had fallen for you
Without knowing everything
Barely anything at all
I had your face memorized
When you messaged me
I knew how you’d write something out
Although maybe not the exact words
My heart was yours
Before I recognized the truth
Or maybe I did but I had denied it
This is crazy
It’s impossible
What have I done??
There’s no going back, is there?
Do I tell you what’s in my heart?
What would you say?
Would you run away?
Chuckle, “silly girl”
A hundred typed and deleted messages
Seen only by me and my phone
Oh, what should I do?
Part of me hopes
You won’t answer another text
Disappear from my life
Another part hopes
You’ll see through to the real me
Take me as I am
Will you see past the dark I hide behind?
Am I worth it to you?
Suddenly I don’t know
What have I done?!
Oh, Heart, what have you done?

Love this. So many can relate to it. How many times have we typed something only to delete it? To leave those unspoken words on the table. Very well done.

Yes. Exactly. When to say them, when to hold them in…

Sounds like playing poker…”Know when to hold them, know when to fold them”…;)
