Short Poetry - "What I Cannot Say"

What I really want to say

Is something I cannot put into words.

You affect me to the point of insanity,

Where I cannot distinguish the lightning sparks of joy

From the world-burning despair of anguish.

What I really want to say

Is something better said in action;

The way you hold me like tightened chains

Preventing me from breathing

Makes me feel more at peace

Than any eternal sleep.

What I really want to say

Is that I cannot think of a life without you

Without your eyes,

Without your touch,

Without your voice telling me all is well.

What I really want to say. . . .
