words unspoken:

my words, a jumbled, tangled mess
i try to speak, but cant express
the thoughts and feelings that i hold inside
afraid to hurt, i often hide

i blurt out things without a care
not thinking of the pain i share
my words, a sword, they cut and slice
leaving scars, a hurtful device

i mask my truth with a joke and a grin
but deep down, its not funny within
i struggle to communicate from the heart
afraid to be vulnerable, we drift apart

i know i should be honest and true
but fear of rejection, i dont know what to do
so i hide behind a humorous disguise
and hope that youll see the real me in my eyes

please know that im trying, though i fail
to communicate, to express, to prevail
my love, forgive my thoughtless words
and help me learn to speak from my heart, not my hurts.
