"I Couldn't Call"

Folder: 
For All My Exes

I thought of calling you up today,

But had no idea what I would say.



I can't tell you of the tears I've cried,

Or how since you've gone my heart has died.



I can't speak to you of all the times

The thought of you has come to mind.



I can't mention all the hollow smiles

I've forced to stay in place this while.



I can't tell you of the pain I bear,

This cross I must take everywhere.



I can't tell you what I want to say,

So I just couldn't call you up today.

...an honest poem. Still some things must be said;
I would advise the persona in the poem to call if
only to get this burden off the mind and chest.
Keep writing - Keep the faith.
