 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Words


I speak not the words you need to hear
though I have spoken them so many times
but always too late or when no one was listening
and now all the right words have died.
I once spoke of all love when true love was mine
and the words were words spoken in love
I dreamed of a life that was always enchanted
but I soon learned that words weren't  enough.
So I speak not the words you are longing to hear
for these words might break your poor heart
far better be silent than see your eyes crying
for my words tore my world apart.
