Lost For Words

I hear you

And feeling much more nervous than you are

Will you say something heart-felt soon?

Surprise us

Enrich us with your grace and with your charm

It may be hard to work this room

If you’re overcome now

Then I think I understand

I feel so proud of you right now

Did you let your guard down?

Are you fighting back the tears?

You’ve never wept in all these years

You stumble

Upon your words

Whatever must they think?

You’ve always been misunderstood

You try to break the silence but you can’t say anything

I’d say them for you if I could

You had your doubts this time I’m sure

A torn-up script arranged in pieces on the floor

A year’s work spent and nothing said

These scattered pages

Never spoken

Never Read
