Words I Never Say

Words I Never Say

Here they are on the tips of my fingers,
every emotion I’ve suppressed.
Here they sit on the tip of my tongue,
every word I’ve been holding back.
My cheeks are bursting with the effort
of keeping everything I feel inside.
Why can’t I just face this like an adult,
put it all out there on display?
Am I really afraid it’ll all blow up in my face,
that you’ll turn and run away from me
and never return?
I hate not being totally honest with you.
I want nothing more than to grab you by the hand,
pull you close up against me and whisper
“I love you”, in your ear.
