The Words



This feeling’s overwhelming,

Like an uncontrollable urge,

My heart, it pounds violently,

These thoughts I cannot purge,



I find myself aloft routinely

As if the clouds are now my home,

Apprehensively I search for you,

There is so much I wish to know,



Relentlessly my body shudders,

I cannot bear this insecurity

I think those words yet cannot say,

Such fear will soon engulf me,



All day long, my heart it aches,

I yearn for just your voice,

And here within the silence now,

I know I have no choice,



Soon within the darkness,

Upon your sleeping brow,

The words will slip forth from my lips,

And you will know somehow.
