Salted Tears & Shallow Breathing

I need to tell you something,
But I know not how.
Where to begin, how to start?
Poet's are supposed to
Pick the right word,
But what is the right word?
So many to choose with only
One chance to say it,
Perfectly.
My fear strangles me
Like a noose.
Tears flow like lave
Stinging my eyes.
I always thought
"Better to keep silent"
What if I'm  wrong?
If I say what I need to say
It can't be unsaid.
It will be unspoken no more-
Then you will know
Then you will know
The rest will be out of my hands.
I ask of you only this-
Be gentle as you tear my heart to pieces-
My intentions were pure and honest...

You just..

say it.

I feel that if you cannot express how you feel to someone, or simply just say what is on your mind for fear of that persons reaction..then whatever the relationship is it is strained, because you cannot even communicate with them. Honesty is the best policy, aye? You cannot build something without trust. Curiosity within another is a hard thing to swallow. I bet you are still probably thinking.."I should have asked, or I should have said.." If it were me I would just spit it out, but then again I have no filter. ^_^ I guarantee your mind will know no rest until it is answered. I do not think it is better to keep silent. You have a voice. Use it. <3

Salt, Oh Yeah!

You are right, you can't take it back, even if you could, it would still be in your memory festering - so worry not about opinion - just be.
