unspoken feelings <poetry>

Lost In Translation

In the depths of my heart, words dance and sway,
But oh, how they stumble and falter away,
For in the language of love, I'm lost, you see,
Expressing my feelings, a daunting decree.

Every time I see you, my heart takes flight,
But the words I seek elude me in the night,
Like stars that twinkle high above,
They shimmer and fade, lost in translation, my love.

I long to tell you, to make you aware,
Of the way you make my soul take to the air,
But the words get tangled, like a delicate thread,
And I'm left silent, as my heart fills with dread.

If only you knew the way you make me feel,
With every glance, my heart begins to reel,
But I fear that my words will never reach your ear,
Lost in translation, a love not made clear.

Yet, in the depths of my soul, my love remains,
A flame that burns bright, despite the chains,
And though my words may never find their way,
Know that my heart longs for you, come what may.

So, I'll keep my feelings hidden, deep inside,
In the language of love, where they reside,
And though you may never hear the words I say,
Know that I love you more with each passing day.
