Unspoken Words

Sometimes, I cannot find the words, 
Sometimes they come  to mind
But I just  cannot find 
Their way to your heart. 
Could it be pride? 
Could it be broken art? 
Could it be the broken strings of the guitar that plays in my head,  over and over again? 

You know, there's alot I want to say but I can't find the words.... 
Even through this poem I can't speak to you 
So I let loose, 
And listen to this piano as it plays my song
"Killing me softly "..... 
As I sit and wonder,  
Admire and desire 
The beauty of these unspoken words. 

My heart is running a race, 
Every single Day, a different pace. 
Every moment I feel the urge to tell you something
But I just can't find the words.... 
So I listen to the soothing sound of the violin
And I see your grin.... 
I think we getting somewhere 
It's just that the words aren't there

If I had the words.... 
They'd go something like this..... 
*it's quiet for about 8 seconds*
Have you heard the beautiful sound the ocean makes? 
The beautiful waves it portrays? 
It's perfect color combinations?... 
Something you can't explain. 
That's you, that's how I picture you. 

I push you away because I'm scared of what might happen to you  if you get too close. 
I want to shut you out
But I have so much I need to say to you. 
I don't want you to reach out, but 
Now my thoughts and feelings start a fight 
Because of these unspoken words.
